Marks:
+1,
-0
Which of the following statements about the reaction given below are correct?
(i) is oxidized to
(ii) is reduced to
(iii) acts as an oxidizing agent
(iv) acts as on oxidizing agent
(i) is oxidized to
(ii) is reduced to
(iii) acts as an oxidizing agent
(iv) acts as on oxidizing agent
Solution:
In the given reaction,
is getting oxidized to and is reduced to . This can be explained as follows:
is going from +4 oxidation state to +2 oxidation thus clearly is gaining electrons here is reduced to
Hence of is in -1 oxidation state and after losing its one electron it goes to 0 (elementary form) oxidation state, hence here is oxidised to .
