Sagot :

In the given reaction  fluorine is reduced and chlorine is oxidized.

What is oxidation and reduction?

Oxidation is a process in which addition of oxygen or removal of hydrogen and electron takes place, while reduction is a process in which addition of hydrogen & electrons or removal of oxygen takes place.

Given chemical reaction is:

F₂ + 2HCl → Cl₂ + 2HF

  • In the above reaction fluorine is reduced as it accepts an electron and increase in it its oxidation state takes from 0 to -1, which shows reduction.
  • In the reaction chlorine is oxidized as it losses an electron and decrease in its oxidation state takes from -1 to 0, which shows oxidation.
  • Oxidation half reaction is:

F₂ + 2e⁻ → 2F⁻

  • Reduction half reaction is:

2Cl⁻ → Cl₂ + 2e⁻

Hence, fluorine is reduced and chlorine is oxidized in the given reaction.
