Oxidizing Agent Reducing Agent
Notice
that in the case of polyatomic ions with oxygen, the oxidizing agent has more
oxygen than the reducing agent.
Common
laboratory oxidizing agents are KNO3, KClO3, KMnO4 and KCr2O7.
It sometimes happens that
the same substance is both oxidized and reduced, called
a disproportionation reaction.
