Redox Reactions Chem (URGENT DUE AT MIDNIGHT 10/18 PLEASE HELP)

Question

Fe + Cd²⁺Fe²⁺ + Cd

In the above redox reaction, use oxidation numbers to identify the element oxidized, the element reduced, the oxidizing agent and the reducing agent.

Answer 1

May be too later to meet your deadline, but maybe someone else can benefit from the answer.

Fe + Cd2+ ===> Fe2+ + Cd

0........2+.................2+.........0........oxidation numbers

Fe (iron) went from 0 to 2+, so it lost electrons meaning it was oxidized, and it is the reducing agent

Cd (cadmium) went from 2+ to 0, so it gained electrons meaning it was reduced, and it is the oxidizing agent
