In summary, the conversation is discussing the identification of oxidizing and reducing materials. It is determined that Ce is the oxidizer material and Fe is the reduction material based on the definition of oxidation and reduction. The English language skills of the speaker are mentioned, with a request for patience and understanding.

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.

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.
 

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

What is oxidation-reduction (redox) reaction?

Oxidation-reduction, also known as redox, is a chemical reaction in which electrons are transferred between two reactants. One reactant loses electrons (oxidation) while the other gains electrons (reduction).

How do you identify if a reaction is a redox reaction?

A redox reaction can be identified by the change in oxidation states of the reactants. If an element's oxidation state increases, it is being oxidized. If an element's oxidation state decreases, it is being reduced.

3. What is the role of an oxidizing agent in a redox reaction?

An oxidizing agent is a substance that causes another substance to lose electrons and undergo oxidation. It is itself reduced during the reaction.

4. Can you give an example of a redox reaction in everyday life?

One example of a redox reaction in everyday life is the rusting of iron. Iron (Fe) reacts with oxygen (O2) to form iron oxide (Fe2O3). In this reaction, iron loses electrons (oxidation) while oxygen gains electrons (reduction).

5. How is redox used in industries and technology?

Redox reactions are widely used in industries and technology, such as in the production of metals, batteries, and fuel cells. They are also used in wastewater treatment, where they help to break down pollutants and remove harmful chemicals from the water.
