Answer #1

Fe in Fe has oxidation state of 0

Fe in Fe+2 has oxidation state of +2

So, Fe in Fe is oxidised to Fe+2

So, Fe is reducing agent

Cu in Cu+2 has oxidation state of +2

Cu in Cu has oxidation state of 0

So, Cu in Cu+2 is reduced to Cu

So, Cu+2 is reducing agent

Answer:

Substance gets oxidised: Fe

Substance gets reduced: Cu2+

Oxidising agent: Cu2+

Reducing gent: Fe
