Question

MEDAL, please help me understand.

Answer 1

The equation is:
Cl₂(aq) + 2 Br⁻(aq) → 2 Cl⁻ (aq) + Br₂(aq)
Oxidation = Loss of electrons
Reduction = gaining of electrons
Oxidizing agent : gain electrons and reduced
Reducing agent : lose electrons and oxidized
For Cl₂ it converted to 2 Cl⁻ so it gains electrons (Reduced) so it oxidize Br⁻ so it considered as Oxidizing agent
So the correct answer is:
C. Chlorine (Cl) is the oxidizing agent because it gains an electron
