The NO produced in the first step then reacts with oxygen to produce nitrogen dioxide, NO₂ according to the equation below.

[tex]2 NO + O^{2} -\ \textgreater \ 2 NO^{2}[/tex]

(count the "2" after oxygen and the "2" after nitrogen dioxide as subscripts.)

State with a reason which substance is oxidized and reduced shown in this equation.

ihatehumans In this equation, NO is oxidized while O₂ is reduced. This is because oxidation involves the loss of electrons, while reduction involves the gain of electrons. In this case, NO gains an oxygen atom and loses an electron, which is why it is oxidized. On the other hand, O₂ gains electrons from the NO molecule and is reduced.
