Identify the oxidant and reductant in the following redox reaction:
`2K_(2)MnO_(4)+CI_(2)rarr2KCI+2KMnO_(4)`

A

Oxidation of potassium manganate is taking place.

B

Reduction of potassium manganate is taking place.

C

Oxidation of `Cl_(2)` is taking place.

D

`Cl_(2)` acts as reducing agent in the reaction.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
`2K_(2)overset(+6)MnO_(4)+overset(0)Cl_(2)rarr2overset(-1)(KCl)+2Koverset(+7)MnO_(4)`
`Mn rarr ` Increase in oxidation number hence oxidation.
`Cl_(2)rarr` Decrease in oxidation number hence reduction.
`Cl_(2)` is acting as an oxidising agent.
