The substances which gets reduced is the oxidizing agent. Example- When zinc oxide is heated with carbon, then zinc metal and carbon monoxide are formed. ZnO + C Δ→ Zn + CO In this reaction, zinc oxide (ZnO) is losing oxygen, so it's being reduced to Zinc (Zn). On the other hand, carbon (C) is gaining oxygen, so it's being oxidized to carbon monoxide (CO). In this reaction, zinc oxide is the oxidizing agent whereas carbon is the reducing agent
