Answer: Cl2 is acting as an oxidizing agent.

Explanation:

Hydrogen reacts with Chlorine to produce Hydrochloric Acid.

                                H2 + Cl2 ---> 2 HCl

Oxidation Reaction: Hydrogen's oxidation state in H2 is changing from 0 in H2 to +1 in HCl per atom. That means that it has lost one electron per atom and two electrons per molecule. Therefore, hydrogen is oxidized and has acted as a reducing agent.

                                H2 ---> 2 HCl + e-

Reduction Reaction: Chlorine's oxidation state in Cl2 is changing from 0 in Cl2 to -1 in HCl per atom. This means that it loses one electron per atom and two electrons per two atoms. Therefore, Chlorine is reduced and has acted as an oxidizing agent.

timama [110]

Answer:

No!!! It is wrong....

Chemistry is the study of matter and the chemical reactions between substances. Chemistry is also the study of matter's composition, structure, and properties. Matter is essentially anything in the world that takes up space and has mass.

Numbers used in chemical calculations are often very large or very small. Writing out all the zeros in such numbers can be very cumbersome.
