| 21. | In contrast, plants and algae use water as their reducing agent.
|
| 22. | It has been used as a reducing agent in organic chemistry.
|
| 23. | Small amounts of reducing agent, such as organic compounds, can trigger explosive detonation.
|
| 24. | A reducing agent is oxidized because it loses electrons in the redox reaction.
|
| 25. | The reducing agent in this reaction is ferrocyanide ( ] } } ).
|
| 26. | It is also resistant to gentle oxidants and reducing agents.
|
| 27. | Phosphites contain phosphorus in its + 3 oxidation state and are therefore reducing agents.
|
| 28. | For this reason, aluminium is employed as the reducing agent.
|
| 29. | The nucleophile may be a number of reagents, most commonly organometallic or reducing agents.
|
| 30. | Hydrogen peroxide is both an oxidizing agent and reducing agent.
