I know how to determine a reaction is redox or not but 我有d野唔明ar
In a reaction, 係咪要every element ge oxidation number 都要有changes先可以叫做redox reaction.
Just take an example,
2Na(s)+ 2H2O(l) ---> 2NaOH(aq)+H(g)
0 +1-2 +1-2+1 0
if 一樣野ge oxidation number 可以decrease 禁it as an oxidizing agent
HNO3 is a oxidizing agent. 我想問who ge oxidation number decrease 令到佢ge 係一個oxidizing agent?
