Reducing power

Postby Simmi Diwanji 2B » Wed Feb 27, 2019 1:02 am

Does reducing power mean the same as reducing agent or the ability of an element to be reduced?

A reducing agent is a compound that acts as an electron donor (is oxidized) and therefore reduces another compound. The reducing power is the ability of a compound to reduce another compound.

If something has a high reducing power then it will act as a reducing agent.
