Answer:

Given the equation of the reaction below:

3Cl₂(g) + 2Al(s) → 6Cl⁻(aq) + 2Al³⁺(aq)

The oxidized species is aluminum, Al, as its oxidation number increases from zero to +3. Al therefore, acts as the reducing agent.

Also, the reduced species is chlorine gas, Cl₂, as its oxidation number decreases from zero to -1. Therefore, Cl, is the reducing agent.

Note: the question is incomplete. a related question is given as follows; Identify the species oxidized, the species reduced, the oxidizing agent and the reducing agent in the following electron transfer reaction. 3Cl2 + 2Al → 6Cl - + 2Al3+ species oxidized:

Explanation:

An oxidation is a process in which there is a loss of electrons whereas  reduction is a process involving the gain of electrons. A redox reaction is a reaction in which oxidation and reduction processes occur concurrently and to the same extent.

In a redox reaction reaction, the substance which is oxidized serves as the reducing agent by donating electrons to the substance which is reduced. On the other hand, the substance which is reduced serves as the oxidizing agent by accepting the electrons donated by the substance which is oxidized. In oxidation, the oxidation number of the substance oxidized increases, whereas in reduction, the oxidation number of the substance decreases.

For example, given the equation of the reaction below:

3Cl₂(g) + 2Al(s) → 6Cl⁻(aq) + 2Al³⁺(aq)

The oxidized species is aluminum, Al, as its oxidation number increases from zero to +3. Al therefore, acts as the reducing agent.

Also, the reduced species is chlorine gas, Cl₂, as its oxidation number decreases from zero to -1. Therefore, Cl, is the reducing agent.

What is the oxidation state of S in so ??​
Marina86 [1]

Answer:

+2

Explanation:

If a compound SO existed, we would identify the oxidation state of sulfur using the following logic:

  • oxygen is more electronegative than sulfur, so it's more electron-withdrawing and it should have a negative oxidation state producing a positive oxidation state for sulfur;
  • oxygen typically has an oxidation state of -2;
  • we may then apply the fact that SO is expected to be a molecule with a net charge of 0;
  • if the net charge is 0 and the oxidation state of oxygen is -2, we may set the oxidation state of S to x;
  • write the equation for the net charge of 0 by adding all individual charges of the two atoms: x + (-2) = 0;
  • hence, x = 2.

That said, in this hypothetical compound S would have an oxidation state of +2.
