La estequiometría de una reacción redox es tal que todos los electrones perdidos en la oxidación son ganados en la reducción. Las especies que participan en una reacción redox son llamadas con frecuencia agente oxidante y agente reductor. Un agente reductor es la especie que reduce algo (y es oxidada en el proceso); y agente oxidante es una especie que oxida algo (y es reducida en este proceso). 3, record 2, Spanish, - agente%20reductor

Les réducteurs convertissent les complexes colorants en composés moins colorés par addition d'atomes d'hydrogène aux groupements de chromophores insaturés ou en réduisant des groupements carbonyles en hydroxyles. Ces pâtes sont sensibles à l'oxydation, ce qui entraîne la perte de blancheur due au vieillissement. 3, record 3, French, - r%C3%A9ducteur
