Question

Justify that the following reaction is redox reaction or not ,If yes then explain in brief:

(i) Cl2 + 2Br-1
⟶ 2Cl-1
+ Br2​

Answer 1

Answer:

No

Explanation:

Given chemical equation is not redox reaction.

Redox reaction means reaction in which both oxidation and reduction reaction take place.

and in the given reaction there is no gain and lose of oxygen and hydrogen respectively occur. so this is not a redox reaction

Answer 2

Answer:

Yes, this is a redox reaction

Explanation:

Oxidation and reduction is taking place in the same reaction.

Chlorine is reduced from 0 to-1

Bromine is oxidised from -1 to 0
