Identify the substance that is oxidized as well as the substance that is reduced in the following equation. I2(aq) + 2 Br-(aq) --> 2 I-(aq) + Br2(aq)
Added by Hailey C.
Step 1
On the other hand, bromide ions (Br-) are being oxidized because they lose electrons and their oxidation state increases from -1 to 0 in Br2. Show more…

In the following reaction, identify the element being oxidized, the element being reduced, the oxidizing agent, and the reducing agent. Also, show the direction of electron flow. 3C2H6O(l) + 2Cr2O72−(aq) + 16H+(aq) → 3C2H4O2(aq) + 4Cr3+(aq) + 11H2O(l)
