Question

identify the substance oxidised ,reduced oxidising agent and reducing agent in thefollowing reactions :-
a) H2S +cl2 = HcL +S
b) MnO + cl2 = Mncl+ cl2 + H20
c) Mg+ CuO = MgO+ Cu
d) Fe + H2O = Fe2O3 + H2​

Answer 1

a)S is oxidized and Cl is reduced
H2S is the reducing agent and cl2 oxidizing agent
b) Mn is reduced and Cl is oxidized
Mn is oxidising agent And Cl is reducing agent
C)Mg is oxidised and CuO reduced
Cuo is the oxidising agent and Mg is reducing agent
D) Fe is oxidised while water is reduced
Therefore Fe is the reducing agent and water is oxidising agent
