The international pictogram for oxidizing chemicals. Dangerous goods label for oxidizing agents. An oxidizing agent (also known as an oxidant, oxidizer, electron recipient, or electron acceptor) is a substance in a redox chemical reaction that gains or "accepts"/"receives" an electron from a reducing agent (called the reductant, reducer, or electron donor).

An oxidizing acid is a Brønsted acid that is a strong oxidizing agent. Most Brønsted acids can act as oxidizing agents, because [dubious – discuss] the acidic proton can be reduced to hydrogen gas. Some acids contain other structures that act as stronger oxidizing agents than hydrogen ions. Generally, they contain oxygen in their anionic ...
Potassium permanganate is widely used in the chemical industry and laboratories as a strong oxidizing agent, and also as a medication for dermatitis, for cleaning wounds, and general disinfection. It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines. [5] In 2000, worldwide production was estimated at 30,000 tons. [5]
a strong base; precursor to most soft and liquid soaps as well as numerous potassium-containing chemicals Potassium permanganate: a strong oxidizing agent; can be used to quantitatively determine the total oxidisable organic material in an aqueous sample; a reagent for the synthesis of organic compounds Pyridinium chlorochromate
Hypervalent iodine compounds are predominantly used as oxidizing reagents, although they are specialized and expensive. In some cases they replace more toxic oxidants. In some cases they replace more toxic oxidants.
An oxidizing acid is an acid that contains an anion with a higher oxidation potential than the potential of the H + ion, or proton, present in all acids. Subcategories This category has only the following subcategory.
Standard electrode potentials offer a quantitative measure of the power of a reducing agent, rather than the qualitative considerations of other reactive series. However, they are only valid for standard conditions: in particular, they only apply to reactions in aqueous solution. Even with this proviso, the electrode potentials of lithium and ...
