  2. Reducing agent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reducing_agent

    The following table provides the reduction potentials of the indicated reducing agent at 25 °C. For example, among sodium (Na), chromium (Cr), cuprous (Cu +) and chloride (Cl −), it is Na that is the strongest reducing agent while Cl − is the weakest; said differently, Na + is the weakest oxidizing agent in this list while Cl is the strongest.

  3. Oxidizing agent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxidizing_agent

    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).

  4. Reduction potential - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reduction_potential

    The following table provides the reduction potentials of the indicated reducing agent at 25 °C. For example, among sodium (Na) metal, chromium (Cr) metal, cuprous (Cu +) ion and chloride (Cl −) ion, it is Na metal that is the strongest reducing agent while Cl − ion is the weakest; said differently, Na + ion is the weakest oxidizing agent ...

  5. List of reagents - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_reagents

    a powerful oxidizing agent; readily forms explosive mixtures; mainly used in the production of rocket fuel: Phosphoric acid: a mineral acid with many industrial uses; commonly used in the laboratory preparation of hydrogen halides Phosphorus pentachloride: one of the most important phosphorus chlorides; a chlorinating reagent.

  6. Oxidative phosphorylation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxidative_phosphorylation

    In E. coli, for example, oxidative phosphorylation can be driven by a large number of pairs of reducing agents and oxidizing agents, which are listed below. The midpoint potential of a chemical measures how much energy is released when it is oxidized or reduced, with reducing agents having negative potentials and oxidizing agents positive ...

  7. Electrochemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrochemistry

    The atom or molecule which loses electrons is known as the reducing agent, or reductant, and the substance which accepts the electrons is called the oxidizing agent, or oxidant. Thus, the oxidizing agent is always being reduced in a reaction; the reducing agent is always being oxidized. Oxygen is a common oxidizing agent, but not the only one.

  8. Redox - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redox

    Thus, in the reaction, the reductant or reducing agent loses electrons and is oxidized, and the oxidant or oxidizing agent gains electrons and is reduced. The pair of an oxidizing and reducing agent that is involved in a particular reaction is called a redox pair. A redox couple is a reducing species and its corresponding oxidizing form, [7] e ...

  9. Oxidizing acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxidizing_acid

    An oxidizing acid is a Brønsted acid that is a strong oxidizing agent. Most Brønsted acids can act as oxidizing agents, because 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 structure.
