1. The reaction is:
The oxidizing agent is the one that is being reduced which is copper where the charge changed from +2 to neutral while the reducing agent is the on being oxidized which is magnesium where the charge change from neutral to +2.
In the chemical reaction given, the oxidizing agent is Copper Nitrate (Cu(NO3)2) and the reducing agent is Magnesium (Mg).
In this chemical reaction, Magnesium (Mg) undergoes oxidation and Copper Nitrate (Cu(NO3)2) undergoes reduction. The oxidizing agent is the substance that causes oxidation by accepting electrons, hence the oxidizing agent here is Copper Nitrate (Cu(NO3)2). Likewise, the reducing agent is a substance that reduces another by providing electrons. In this case, Magnesium (Mg) is the reducing agent as it donates electrons to Copper Nitrate (Cu(NO3)2).
