A reducing agent is one which is oxidised in the reaction itself. When you take into account the oxidation numbers you will see that the Cl- ions are oxidised from an oxidation number of -1 to 0 in Cl2. Therefore Cl- ions are the reducing agent.
Effect of increasing surface area on the rate of a reaction. ... Increasing the surface area of a solid reactant exposes more of its particles to attack. This results in an increased chance of collisions between reactant particles, so there are more collisions in any given time and the rate of reaction increases.
I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is the third option. It is amino acid that is not an example of a polymer. It <span> is a large molecule, or macromolecule, composed of many repeated subunits. Hope this answers the question.</span>
The answer is heart
good luck!
