Which is an oxidizing agent in following reaction? $\mathrm{Fe}_{(s)}+\mathrm{Cu}_{\mathrm{aq}}^{2+} \rightarrow \underset{\text { aq }}{\mathrm{Fe}_{(s)}^{2+}} +\mathrm{Cu(S)}$
  1. $\mathrm{Fe}_{\mathrm{aq}}^{2+}$
  2. $\mathrm{Cu}_{\mathrm{aq}}^{2+}$
  3. $\mathrm{Fe}_{(\mathrm{s})}$
  4. $\mathrm{Cu}_{(\mathrm{s})}$

Solution

$\mathrm{Cu}^{+2} \rightarrow \mathrm{Cu}$ $\mathrm{Cu}^{+2}$ itself get reduced and act as O.A.
