Drag the appropriate items to their respective bins
the Cl atom in
Si(s)+2Cl2(g)→SiCl4(l)
the Cl atom in
SbCl3(s)+Cl2(g)→SbCl5(s)
the Sb atom in
SbCl3(s)+Cl2(g)→SbCl5(s)
the Cl atom in
Cl2(g)+2NaBr(aq)→ Br2(aq)+2NaCl(aq)
the Br atom in
Cl2(g)+2NaBr(aq)→ Br2(aq)+2NaCl(aq)
the Si atom in
Si(s)+2Cl2(g)→SiCl4(l)
1)
the Cl atom in
Si(s)+2Cl2(g)→SiCl4(l)
oxidation state of Cl in Cl2 is 0
oxidation state of Cl in SiCl4 is -1
Since oxidation state of Cl is decreasing, the Cl atom is reduced
2)
the Cl atom in
SbCl3(s)+Cl2(g)→SbCl5(s)
oxidation state of Cl in Cl2 is 0
oxidation state of Cl in SbCl5 is -1
Since oxidation state of Cl is decreasing, the Cl atom is reduced
3)
the Sb atom in
SbCl3(s)+Cl2(g)→SbCl5(s)
oxidation state of Sb in SbCl3 is +3
oxidation state of Sb in SbCl5 is +5
Since oxidation state of Sb is increasing, the Sb atom is oxidised
4)
the Cl atom in
Cl2(g)+2NaBr(aq)→ Br2(aq)+2NaCl(aq)
oxidation state of Cl in Cl2 is 0
oxidation state of Cl in NaCl is -1
Since oxidation state of Cl is decreasing, the Cl atom is reduced
5)
the Br atom in
Cl2(g)+2NaBr(aq)→ Br2(aq)+2NaCl(aq)
oxidation state of Br in NaBr is -1
oxidation state of Br in Br2 is 0
Since oxidation state of Br is increasing, the Br atom is oxidised
6)
the Si atom in
Si(s)+2Cl2(g)→SiCl4(l)
oxidation state of Si in Si is 0
oxidation state of Si in SiCl4 is +4
Since oxidation state of Si is increasing, the Si atom is oxidised
