Assessment: JAMB UTME - Chemistry - 2003 Subject: Chemistry

Question 1 Report

If y is an oxidizing agent that reacts with a reducing agent, Z, which of the following is correct?
Answer Details
When an oxidizing agent reacts with a reducing agent, the oxidizing agent causes the reducing agent to lose electrons. This means that the oxidizing agent itself becomes reduced (gains electrons) while the reducing agent becomes oxidized (loses electrons). Therefore, the correct answer to the question is "Y becomes reduced", since y is the oxidizing agent in this scenario. The other answer options are incorrect because they do not describe the expected outcome of the reaction between an oxidizing agent and a reducing agent.
