Question

What is the half equation of the reduction reaction:. Cl2(g)+H2O(l) -> HOCl(aq) + H+(aq) + Cl- (aq)

Answer 1

The chemical reaction is expressed as:

Cl2(g)+H2O(l) -> HOCl(aq) + H+(aq) + Cl- (aq)

Reduction reaction is a reaction that loses electrons while reacting.The half reaction which represents the reduction reaction is written as:

Cl2+2e−1→2Cl−1

Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
