  1. It is oxidized
  2. It is reduced
  3. It remains unchanged
  4. It gains electrons

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In a redox reaction, what happens to the reducing agent?
  • Step 1: Understand that a redox reaction involves the transfer of electrons between substances.
  • Step 2: Identify the reducing agent, which is the substance that donates electrons.
  • Step 3: Recognize that when the reducing agent donates electrons, it loses electrons.
  • Step 4: Understand that losing electrons means the reducing agent is oxidized.
  • Step 5: Conclude that in a redox reaction, the reducing agent is oxidized as it donates electrons.
