H2 + Cl2 --> 2HCl Think of it like this. H2 begins with two electrons, Cl2 begins with 14 (it is diatomic and originally has 7 electrons, so 7 + 7 = 14). The reducing agent is the one being oxidized (you need to remember that!) and if something is being oxidized, it is going from having more electrons to less electrons. 2HCl has 16 electrons (where H has two and Cl has fourteen), so, unless there is a charge on any of these compounds that you did not include in your question, no, Cl is not the reducing agent.

What type of reaction is CCl4 C 2Cl2?

The reaction CCl4 + 2Cl2 → C + 2CCl2 is a redox reaction, specifically a displacement reaction where CCl4 is being reduced to C and Cl2 is being oxidized to CCl2.


Is the following equation balanced CS2 plus 2Cl2 CCl4 plus S2Cl2?

The chemical equation CS2 + 2 Cl2 -> CCl4 + S2Cl2 is not balanced, because it shows four chlorine atoms on the left but six chlorine atoms on the right. The corresponding balanced equation is CS2 + 3 Cl2 -> CCl4 + S2Cl2.

At stp the density of ccl4 vapours in g l will be neatest to?

At STP, the molar volume of any ideal gas is 22.4 L/mol. To find the density of CCl4 vapor at STP, we need to calculate its molar mass. CCl4 has a molar mass of 153.8 g/mol, so the density of CCl4 vapor at STP would be 153.8 g/mol divided by 22.4 L/mol, which equals approximately 6.86 g/L.
