AI Generated Solution

To identify the oxidizing agents in the given reactions, we need to analyze each reaction step by step. An oxidizing agent is a substance that gains electrons or transfers oxygen to another substance during a chemical reaction. ### Step-by-Step Solution: **(i)** Reaction: `Pb₃O₄ + 8HCl → 3PbCl₂ + Cl₂ + 4H₂O` - In this reaction, lead(IV) oxide (Pb₃O₄) contains oxygen and is oxidizing hydrochloric acid (HCl) to chlorine gas (Cl₂). - **Oxidizing Agent:** Pb₃O₄ ...
