In problem 27, identify oxidizing agent and reducing agent in the following equation.
00:07
So this is the equation that is given in the question.
00:11
And this question is taken from the topic oxidation reduction, redox reaction.
00:16
And the concept behind this question is the oxidizing agent and reducing agent.
00:22
So first of all, we try to understand the term oxidizing agent.
00:27
So oxidizing agent are those which can oxidizing agent.
00:30
Other but itself reduce so which can oxidize other but itself reduce okay and reducing agent are those which can reduce other which can reduce other but itself oxidize so now we understand the term oxidizing agent and reducing agent and oxidation number is the charge assigned of an element when present in the combined state with other atoms or has in its iron form according to some set of rule and that rule are called the oxidation number rules so this is the equation which is given in the equation so the oxidation number of this chlorine is zero and this bromide ion is minus one this chloride ion is minus one and this promine is zero okay so now we can see that this chlorine, the oxidation number, decrease from 0 to minus 1.
02:15
And this in case of bromide ion, it is increased minus 1 to 0.
02:20
So that means this is the equation in which the reduction can take place.
02:28
And this is the equation in which the oxidation can take place...
