- In chemistry, a
reducing agent (also
known as a
reductant, reducer, or
electron donor) is a
chemical species that "donates" an
electron to an electron...
- independently. In
redox processes, the
reductant transfers electrons to the oxidant. Thus, in the reaction, the
reductant or
reducing agent loses electrons...
- or "accepts"/"receives" an
electron from a
reducing agent (called the
reductant, reducer, or
electron donor). In
other words, an
oxidizer is any substance...
- Na + 8 H2 + 7 SiO2 → 4 NaBH4 + 7 Na2SiO3
Magnesium is a less
expensive reductant, and
could in
principle be used instead: 8 MgH2 + Na2B4O7 + Na2CO3 → 4...

including that of
imines and carbonyls.
Sodium cyanoborohydride is a
milder reductant than
other conventional reducing agents.
Sodium cyanoborohydride is a...

enzyme that
catalyzes the
transfer of
electrons from one molecule, the
reductant, also
called the
electron donor, to another, the oxidant, also called...

known as a free radical, is an atom, molecule, or ion that has at

especially in the
field of electrochemistry,
ammonium sulfite is

Reduction using a
given reductant is
possible at
temperatures above the
intersection point where the ΔG line of that
reductant is
lower on the diagram...

exothermic redox chemical reaction between a fuel (the
reductant) and an oxidant,
usually atmospheric oxygen, that
