reducing power?

[Phi Phi Do 2E]

How do I calculate reducing power and what is the concept behind it? Does it have anything to do with electronegativity?

[Gwyneth Huynh 1J]

Reducing power refers to how strong of a reducing agent a substance is. The more negative/lower a substance's reduction potential is, the more likely it will be oxidized (lose elections) and therefore be the stronger reducing agent.

Reducing power of a species is the ability to reduce other another species. The higher the reducing power, the lower the reduction potential, and the less likely the species itself becomes reduced.

[Peri Bingham 1G]

Reducing agents have lower standard potential. The lower the standard potential, the greater the reducing strength.

[Angel Ni 2K]

Reducing power is the ability of something to give up electrons so that those electrons can go reduce some other molecule.

[ConnorThomas2E]

Something with a high reducing power will have a large negative potential difference. Something with a high oxidizing power will have a high positive potential difference.
