In the reaction between chlorine and HBr a transformation of HBr into, `Br_(2)` takes place. Can this transformation be called oxidation ? Which is the oxidant that brings about this oxidation. |
|
Answer» When chlorine react with hydrobromic acid, bromine is formed. `Cl_(2(g))+2HBr_((aq)) to 2HCl_((aq))+ Br_(2)`. Yes, this transformation is called oxidation, as hydrobromide acid loses hydrogen. In this reaction `Cl_(2)` is the oxidizing agent. |
