Identifying Oxidizing Agents and Reducing Agents Identify the oxidizing and reducing agents in each redox reaction.
(a) \mathrm{Sn}(s)+\mathrm{O}_{2}(g)\longrightarrow\mathrm{SnO_{2}}(s)
(b) 2\,\mathrm{Na}(s)\,+\,\mathrm{F}_{2}(g)\,\longrightarrow\,2\,\mathrm{NaF}(s)
(c) \mathrm{Mg}(s)+\mathrm{Cu}^{2+}(a q)\longrightarrow\mathrm{Mg}^{2+}(a q)+\mathrm{Cu}(s)
(a) Sn is the reducing agent; \mathrm{O}_{2} is the oxidizing agent.
(b) Na is the reducing agent; \mathrm{F}_{2} is the oxidizing agent.
(c) Mg is the reducing agent; {\mathrm{Cu}}^{2+} is the oxidizing agent.
