To identify the reducing agents in the given reactions, we need to determine which substances are being oxidized. The reducing agent is the substance that donates electrons and gets oxidized in the process. Let's analyze each reaction step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: **(a)** Reaction: `4NH3 + 5O2 → 4NO + 6H2O` 1. **Identify oxidation states**: - In NH3 (ammonia), nitrogen (N) has an oxidation state of -3. ...
