Hello students.
00:01
Now, in this question, they have asked you to fill in the blanks with either the term oxidized or the term reduced.
00:08
Now, in the first fill in the blanks, they are asking, in case of electron donor, you will observe that it is a reducing agent.
00:18
So, what is it getting converted to? is it getting oxidized or is it getting reduced? now, let us see an example in this case, right? if it is a reducing agent and an electron donor means that the reaction is a reduction reaction, right? so the best example that we can take is that of h2 plus f2 gives to hf, right? so in this case, what we are observing? we are observing that the electron donor here is the h2, right? so in this case, we can say that h2 is the reducing agent, right? now, if you observe what happens to this reducing agent, it gets oxidized, correct? because there were two hydrogens before.
01:10
There is removal of one hydrogen in this case, correct? removal of hydrogen is a good example for oxidation.
01:19
What are the steps that you observe in case of oxidation? either hydrogen is removed or you observe that electron is reliant.
01:30
Right when electron is released what will you observe you will observe the oxidation reaction of the reducing agent so reducing agent in this case will be oxidized right so that is what we are going to write now when we consider for the oxidation step that is in case of the electron acceptor right in this oxidation case what you will observe is let us consider consider fe plus o2 giving fe2 o3...
