Answer the questions about this reaction: nai(aq) + cl2(g) → nacl(aq) + i2(g) write the oxidation and reduction half-reactions: oxidation half-reaction: reduction half-reaction: based on the table of relative strengths of oxidizing and reducing agents (b-18), would these reactants form these products? write the balanced equation: answer options: a. 0/na -> +1/na+1e- b. nai(aq) + cl2(g) → nacl(aq) + i2(g) c. +1/na+1e- -> 0 /na d. -1/2i -> 0/i2+2e- e. no f. 4nai(aq) + cl2(g) → 4nacl(aq) + i2(g) g. 2nai(aq) + cl2(g) → 2nacl(aq) + i2(g) h. 4nai(aq) + 2cl2(g) → 4nacl(aq) + 2i2(g) i. nai(aq) + cl2(g) → nacl(aq) + i2(g) j. 0/cl2+2e -> -1/2cl- k. yes

Answer : is the oxidizing agent and Fe is the reducing agent.

Explanation :

Reducing agent : It is defined as the agent which helps the other substance to reduce and itself gets oxidized. Thus, it will undergo oxidation reaction.

Oxidizing agent : It is defined as the agent which helps the other substance to oxidize and itself gets reduced. Thus, it will undergo reduction reaction.

The balanced redox reaction is :

The half oxidation-reduction reactions are:

Oxidation reaction :

Reduction reaction :

In order to balance the electrons, we multiply the oxidation reaction by 4 and reduction reaction by 3 then added both equation, we get the balanced redox reaction.

Oxidation reaction :

Reduction reaction :

In this reaction, is the reducing agent that loses an electron to another chemical species in a redox chemical reaction and itself gets oxidized and is the oxidizing agent that gain an electron to another chemical species in a redox chemical reaction and itself gets reduced.

Thus, is the oxidizing agent and Fe is the reducing agent.

Fe is the reducing agent while oxygen is the oxidizing agent

Explanation:

The standard cell potential helps to determine the oxidative and reductive strength of species. All the species that lie below the Standard Hydrogen Electrode in the standard cell potential table are stong oxidizing agents and are highly electronegative while those that are above the Standard Hydrogen Electrode are either weak oxidants or reducing agents
