Consider the reaction: CuO(s) + H₂(g) $\rightarrow$ Cu(s) + H₂O(l) In this reaction, which substances are the oxidant and reductant, respectively?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In this reaction, CuO is being reduced to Cu (gaining electrons) and H₂ is being oxidized to H₂O (losing electrons). Therefore, CuO is the oxidant (causing oxidation) and H₂ is the reductant (causing reduction).
