Consider the following equation H2O + 2Fe2+ + Cl2 ↔ 2Fe3+ + 2Cl- + H2O. Which behaves as an oxidizing agent?
Fe2+
Cl2
Fe3+
Cl-
H2O
Correct answer is B
- An oxidizing agent is a substance that causes oxidation by accepting electrons; therefore, it gets reduced. A reducing agent is a substance that causes reduction by losing electrons; therefore it gets oxidized.
