Question

Identify the compound oxidized and reduced in the following reaction. Also give the name of oxidizing

and reducing agent. H2S (g) + Cl2 ® S(s) + 2HCl (g)

Answer 1

Answer:

The given Chemical reaction is redox reaction

(Both oxidation and reduction takes place in single reaction)

$\blue{\boxed{\sf H_2S+Cl_2 \implies HCl+S}}$

Here,

In this reaction,

$\implies \sf H_2S\;undergoes\;oxidation$

$\sf \implies Cl_2 \;is\;reducecd$

Hence,

$\sf \implies Oxidizing \;agent \;is \;Cl_2$

$\sf \implies Reducing\;agent\;is\;H_2S$

Additional Information:

⇒ Oxidation is the loss of electrons during a reaction

⇒ Reduction is the gain of electrons during a reaction

⇒ Molecule which undergoes oxidation is reducing agent

⇒ Molecule which undergoes reduction is oxidizing agent
