In the reaction below, identify the species undergoing oxidation and reduction.
H\(_2\)\(\mathrm{S}\)(g) + Cl\(_2\)(g) \(\rightarrow\) 2HCl(g) + S(s)
- A H\(_2\)\(\mathrm{S}\) is oxidized and Cl\(_2\) is reduced
- B H\(_2\)\(\mathrm{S}\) and Cl\(_2\) both are reduced
- C Cl\(_2\) and H\(_2\)\(\mathrm{S}\) both are oxidized
- D H\(_2\)\(\mathrm{S}\) is reduced and Cl\(_2\) is oxidized
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) H\(_2\)\(\mathrm{S}\) is oxidized and Cl\(_2\) is reduced
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Oxidation states: \(\mathrm{H_2S}\): H=\(+1\), S=\(-2\) \(\mathrm{Cl_2}\): Cl=\(0\) \(\mathrm{HCl}\): H=\(+1\), Cl=\(-1\) \(\mathrm{S}\): S=\(0\) S changes from \(-2\) to \(0\) (oxidation). Cl changes from \(0\) to \(-1\) (reduction). \(\mathrm{H_2S}\) is oxidized and…

The noble gases have closed shell electronic configuration and are monatomic gases under normal conditions. The low boiling points of lighter noble gases are due to the weak dispersion forces between the atoms and the absence of other inter atomic interaction. The direct reaction of xenon with fluorine leads to a series of compounds with oxidation numbers \(+2, +4\) and \(+6\).
\(\text{XeF}_4\) reacts violently with water to give \(\text{XeO}_3\). The compound of Xenon exhibit stereoisomerism and their geometries can be deduced considering the total number of electrons in the valence shell.
