NEET Chemistry Balancing Redox Reactions MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-diagram based-Medium-Class 11
A diagram illustrates the reaction between Cl2(g) and 2I-(aq) to form 2Cl-(aq) and I2(s). Which of the following correctly identifies the oxidation and reduction processes?
A
Cl2 is reduced, I- is oxidized
B
Cl2 is oxidized, I2 is reduced
C
I- is reduced, Cl2 is oxidized
D
I2 is oxidized, Cl- is reduced
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
In the reaction Cl2(g) + 2I-(aq) → 2Cl-(aq) + I2(s), Cl2 gains electrons and is reduced, while I- loses electrons and is oxidized.
