6. For the complete redox reaction given here, (a) break down each reaction into its half reactions; (b) identify the oxidizing agent; and (c) identify the reducing agent.

3F2 +2AlCl3 →2AlF3 +3Cl2

Solutions

Expert Solution

0 -1 -1 0

(a)Given redox reaction is 3F₂ +2AlCl₃ →2AlF₃ + 3Cl₂

Here the oxidation state of Fluorine decreases from 0 to -1 so,

the reduction reaction is F₂ → AlF₃

Here the oxidation state of chlorine increases from -1 to 0 so,

the oxidation reaction is : AlCl₃ → Cl₂

(b) An oxidizing agent is the one which oxidizes others and reduces itself..Here F₂ oxidizes AlCl₃ and reduce itself so the oxidizing agent is F₂

(c) A reducing agent is the one which reduces others and oxidizes itself..Here AlCl₃ oxidizes F₂ and oxidize itself so the reducing agent is AlCl₃
