The process of oxidation involve
loss of electron
gain of electron
loss of proton
loss of neutron
The number of electrons transferred when KMnO4 acts as an oxidising agent to give MnO2 and Mn2+ respectively are
2, 3
1, 5
3, 5
1, 3
Which of the following is the strongest reducing agent?
HF
HCl
HI
HBr
C.
HI
As the size of halogen atom increases, H-X (where, X = halogen) bond length increases, i.e., H-X bond becomes weaker and it readily gives a H-atom, or readily brings about the reduction of other species.
Thus, HI is the strongest reducing agent because of weakest H-I bond.
The reaction,
3ClO- (aq) → ClO (aq) + 2Cl- (aq) is an example of
