\(H_2O_{(g)} + C_{(s)} → H_{2(g)} + CO_{(g)}\)

The oxidizing agent in the reaction above is

  • CO(g)
  • C(s)
  • H2O(g) checkmark
  • H(2)(g)

The correct answer is: C

Explanation

The oxidizing agent is \(H_2O_{(l)}\). The reason is that it loses oxygen to the reducing agent, Carbon

There is an explanation video available .
