(b)They are in gaseous form.

(c)The product is hydrogen chloride gas.

Anonymous: what is oxidizing agent?

kanugulanavya1527: 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.
