Question

K. The process SO2=S2cl2
a. Reduction
b. Oxidation
c. Neither oxidation nor reduction
d. Oxidation and reduction.​

Answer 1

Answer:

oxidation and reduction answer

Answer 2

Answer:

The process given is oxidation and reduction.

Option (d).

Explanation:

Oxidation: Removal of electrons  

Reduction: Gaining of electrons

Redox Reaction: Both oxidation and reduction occurs at single reaction

In the given reaction $S_{2}+C l_{2}$ both oxidation and reduction occurs such that the sulphur mono-chloride is formed as product. Refer the picture for the equation.

$2 s^{0}-2 e^{-} \rightarrow 2 s^{1}\left(s_{2} \text { is a oxidising agent }\right)$

$2 C l^{0}-2 e^{-} \rightarrow 2 C l^{-1}\left(C l_{2} \text { is a reducing agent }\right)$.
