<u>Answer:</u>
a. Oxidising agent: Cl₂
b. Reducing agent: NaBr
c. Oxidised: NaBr
d. Reduced: Cl₂
e. Oxidation numbers before reaction: Cl= 0, Na= +1, Br= -1
f. Oxidation numbers after reaction: Cl= -1, Na= +1, Br= 0
<u>Explanation:</u>
Oxidising agents reduces themselves, oxidising other elements/compounds.
Reducing agents oxidise themselves, reducing other elements/compounds.
Oxidation is the <u>loss</u> of electrons or an <u>increase</u> in oxidation number.
Reduction is the <u>gain</u> of electrons or <u>decrease</u> in oxidation number.
Coal is not a mineral. It's not a mineral because minerals are inorganic. Coal is organic because it comes from decayed living matter.
Answer: Option (3) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
When a more reactive element or atom replaces a less reactive atom then this type of reaction is known as single displacement reaction.
In the given reaction, potassium iodide reacts with fluorine and results in the formation of potassium fluoride and iodine.
Here, fluorine being more reactive displaces iodine from potassium iodide.
Therefore, it is a single replacement or displacement reaction.
Magnesium chloride is the name for the chemical compounds with the formulas MgCl2 and its various hydrates MgCl2(H2O<span>)x. These salts are typical ionic halides, being highly soluble in water. The hydrated magnesium chloride can be extracted from brine or sea water.</span>
