Carbon dioxide is – (1) a reducing agent (2) an oxidising agent (3) a dehydrating agent (4) a bleaching agent

1 Answer

Answer :

(1) a reducing agent Explanation: A good reducing agent must be able to donate electrons readily. This means that it must not have very much attraction for electrons. Carbon dioxide is just like any other oxide and can be reduced to its respective elements by applied energy.
