The oxidant which cannot act as a reducing agent is

A

`NO_(2)`

B

`SO_(2)`

C

`CO_(2)`

D

`ClO_(2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Reducing is accompanied by an increases in oxidation number of the reducing agent. C belong to IV A so the max, O.N. is + 4. In `CO_(2)` the oxidation number of C is +4, which cannot be further increased. Hence, `CO_(2)` can not act as reducing agent.
