NEET Chemistry Balancing Redox Reactions MCQ Question
A diagram shows a redox reaction setup where chlorine gas is bubbled through a solution containing iodide ions. Identify the element undergoing oxidation and its change in oxidation state in the depicted reaction: Cl2(g) + 2I–(aq) → 2Cl–(aq) + I2(s).
Iodine, from -1 to 0
Chlorine, from 0 to -1
Iodine, from 0 to -1
Chlorine, from -1 to 0
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
In the reaction Cl2(g) + 2I–(aq) → 2Cl–(aq) + I2(s), iodide ions (I–) are oxidized to iodine (I2) as their oxidation state changes from -1 to 0.
