Question

oxygen is acting as an oxidizing agent in all of the following reactions except
a. $ce{2 c(s) + o_{2}(g) -> 2 co(g)}$
b. $ce{s(s) + o_{2}(g) -> so_{2}(g)}$
c. $ce{2 f_{2}(g) + o_{2}(g) -> 2 of_{2}(g)}$
d. $ce{2 na(s) + o_{2}(g) -> na_{2}o_{2}(s)}$
e. $ce{2 mg(s) + o_{2}(g) -> 2 mgo(s)}$

Explanation:

Step1: Define oxidizing agent

An oxidizing agent is a substance that gets reduced (its oxidation number decreases[LLM SSE On Failure]
