Who is the Oxidizer and Who is the Reducer in Oxidation-Reduction?

AI Thread Summary
In oxidation-reduction reactions, oxidation refers to the loss of electrons while reduction refers to the gain of electrons. Cerium (Ce) acts as the oxidizer because it gains electrons, while iron (Fe) serves as the reducer since it loses electrons. The discussion confirms that iron is oxidized and thus functions as a reducing agent, while cerium is reduced, acting as an oxidizing agent. Participants express appreciation for the clarification and patience in understanding these concepts. Overall, the key takeaway is the identification of Ce as the oxidizer and Fe as the reducer in the reaction.

how i know who is the oxidizer material and who is the reduction material In this response.

tell me if i Right Ce is the oxidizer material and Fe is the reduction material.


Because Oxidation is the loss of electrons and Reduction is the gain of electrons ?


thanks.

You are correct.
 
Edit: You are right.

thanks to both of you.

Yayness: in this Process Fe is reduction Because it loss of electrons.
and Ce is the oxidizer material Because it gain of electrons.

maybe i Wrong :) .
 
Your English makes these statements slightly difficult to understand.

Iron gets oxidized, which means it is a reducing agent in the process.

Cerium gets reduced, which means it is an oxidizing agent.
 
yes i know my English is not the best :) i work to improve my English .

really thanks about your Patience.
 

Thread 'Prove that evolution is constant (Provide at least two arguments to support your position)'

I don't get how to argue it. i can prove: evolution is the ability to adapt, whether it's progression or regression from some point of view, so if evolution is not constant then animal generations couldn`t stay alive for a big amount of time because when climate is changing this generations die. but they dont. so evolution is constant. but its not an argument, right? how to fing arguments when i only prove it.. analytically, i guess it called that (this is indirectly related to biology, im...
