Explanation:

Chemical equation:

Cl₂ + 2HBr → 2HCl + Br₂

The given reaction is redox reaction because oxidation reduction take place.

Cl₂ is reduced from oxidation state 0 to -1 while HBr oxidized from -1 to 0.

Chlorine is oxidizing agent while HBr is reducing agent.

Oxidation:

Oxidation involve the removal of electrons and oxidation state of atom of an element is increased.

Reduction:

Reduction involve the gain of electron and oxidation number is decreased.

Oxidizing agents:

Oxidizing agents oxidize the other elements and itself gets reduced.

Reducing agents:

Reducing agents reduced the other element are it self gets oxidized
