(a)Given redox reaction is 3F2 +2AlCl3
→2AlF3 + 3Cl2
Here the oxidation state of Fluorine decreases from 0 to -1
so,
the reduction reaction is F2 → AlF3
Here the oxidation state of chlorine increases from -1 to 0
so,
the oxidation reaction is : AlCl3 →
Cl2
(b) An oxidizing agent is the one which oxidizes others and
reduces itself..Here F2 oxidizes AlCl3 and
reduce itself so the oxidizing agent is F2
(c) A reducing agent is the one which reduces others and
oxidizes itself..Here AlCl3 oxidizes F2 and
oxidize itself so the reducing agent is AlCl3
