Identify the oxidizing agent in the reaction: sn(s) + 2h+(aq) → sn2+(aq) + h2(g) sn2+ h2 h+ sn

H⁺(aq)

Explanation:

Let's consider the following redox reaction.

Sn(s) + 2 H⁺(aq) → Sn²⁺(aq) + H₂(g)

We can identify both half-reactions.

Oxidation: Sn(s) → Sn²⁺(aq) + 2 e⁻

Reduction: 2 H⁺(aq) + 2 e⁻ → H₂(g)

Sn(s) undergoes oxidation so it is the reducing agent, while H⁺(aq) undergoes reduction so it is the oxidizing agent.

the objects have the same charge.
