Answer:
This is an oxidation-reduction (redox) reaction:
2 H0 - 2 e- → 2 HI (oxidation)
2 Cl0 + 2 e- → 2 Cl-I (reduction)
H2 is a reducing agent, Cl2 is an oxidizing agent.

(a)Hydrogen and chlorine molecules are the reactants.
(b)They are in gaseous form.
(c)The product is hydrogen chloride gas.

what is oxidizing agent?
An oxidizing agent is a reactant that removes electrons from other reactants during a redox reaction. The oxidizing agent typically takes these electrons for itself, thus gaining electrons and being reduced. An oxidizing agent is thus an electron acceptor.
