Question

Cl2(aq) + 2KI(aq) → I2(aq) + 2KCl(aq) 
How many electron or electrons tranfer in given redox reaction?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Given reaction Cl ^2

+2KI⟶I ^2 +2KCl

Here in the reaction the oxidation state of chlorine changes from 0 to −1

⟶ That means it accepts an electron and gets reduced.

⟶ Therefore Cl ^2 will be reduced at the cathode.
