Consider the reaction of water with $F_2$ and suggest in terms of oxidation and reduction,which species are oxidized and reduced.
(N/A) In the reaction: $2 F_{2(g)} + 2 H_2O_{(l)} \longrightarrow O_{2(g)} + 4 H^+_{(aq)} + 4 F^-_{(aq)}$
In the above reaction,water acts as a reducing agent; it is oxidized as oxygen changes from an oxidation state of $-2$ in $H_2O$ to $0$ in $O_2$.
Fluorine acts as an oxidizing agent; it is reduced as it changes from an oxidation state of $0$ in $F_2$ to $-1$ in $F^-_{(aq)}$.
In the above reaction,water acts as a reducing agent; it is oxidized as oxygen changes from an oxidation state of $-2$ in $H_2O$ to $0$ in $O_2$.
