Which of the following chemical reactions depicts the oxidizing behaviour of ?
- A
- B
- C
- D
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
In an oxidizing reaction, the oxidation state of the element in the oxidizing agent decreases.In , the oxidation state of Sulphur is .In Option A: Sulphur goes from in to in (Reduction).Iodine goes from in to in (Oxidation).Here, acts as an oxidizing agent.In B and C, it acts as an acid. In D, it is a chlorination/displacement type reaction.
