Is lead II ion or Chlorine is the most active oxidising agent?
Elemental chlorine is a stronger oxidizing agent than iron (II) cations.
Which of the element chlorine fluorine iodine and br is the strongest oxidizing agent?
Fluorine.
Is ammonium ion a reducing or oxidising agent?
Reducing
Why is chlorine a stronger oxididing agent then bromine?
Chlorine is smaller in size as compare to Bromine so its electronegativity or electrons attracting ability is higher which is responsible for the loss of electrons from other atoms hence it is strong oxidizing agent.
What reacts with potassium iodide to give a brown color?
Potassium Iodide is used as a test for oxidising agent. When mixed with the oxidising agent it will turn brown.Example: FluorineIodide is yellow in colour.
Which halogen is the strongest oxidising agent?
Fluorine is the strongest oxidising agent.
Is lead II ion or Chlorine is the most active oxidising agent?
Elemental chlorine is a stronger oxidizing agent than iron (II) cations.
Why is fluorine best oxidising agent?
Because it is a group 7 element.
Which is strongest reducing agent among fluorine chlorine bromine iodine?
Fluorine is the strongest reducing agent.
Which of the element chlorine fluorine iodine and br is the strongest oxidizing agent?
Fluorine.
What atom is known as an electron grabber because it attract electron so strongly?
Fluorine is the best. Any element with a high electronegativity. Oxygen next then chlorine. Anything that is considered a good oxidising agent will grab electrons.
Which halogen is the weakest oxidising agent?
Fluorine is the weakest oxidizing agent among the halogens. It has the highest electronegativity and is highly reactive, but it is not as strong of an oxidizing agent as chlorine, bromine, or iodine.
How does bleaching powder eradicate microbes from water?
Bleach liberates chlorine and chlorine is a powerful oxidising agent. Oxidation of the structure of the microbe destroys/kills it.
What is the oxidising agent in 3Mg plus N2 and rarrMg3N2?
Magnesium is the oxidising agent.
Use of oxidizing agent in textile?
In textile industry oxidising agents are used to bleach cloths. Chlorine water is the example for this.
What is the strongest oxidizing agent?
Oxidation is the loss of electrons and an element responsible for this loss is an oxidizing agent, an element which has great affinity for electrons is strong oxidizing agent , Fluorine atom has highest electronegatvity so it is strongest oxidizing element. oxidizing agent oxidizes others and itself becomes reduced.
Why chlorine displaces bromine from potassium bromide?
Chlorine is a stronger oxidizing agent than bromine.
