So given the reaction
2Cr + 3Fe
2+ 3Fe + 2Cr
3+What is being oxidized? Reduced? What is the oxidation agent? Reducing agent?
______________________________
So I know that the one that loses electrons is said to be oxidized, and the one that gains electrons is said to be reduced. Would it then be correct to say that Cr is being oxidized, Fe is being reduced, Cr is the reducing agent, and Fe is the oxidizing agent?
I would greatly appreciate any feedback you can provide, thank you!
