Change in Oxidation

Question

2I- + Br2I2 + 2Br-

In the above redox reaction, use oxidation numbers to identify the element oxidized, the element reduced, the oxidizing agent and the reducing agent.

1. 
   

name of the element oxidized		name of the element reduced:
formula of the oxidizing agent:		formula of the reducing agent:

Answer 1

2I^- + Br₂ ====> I₂ + 2Br^-

-1.....0.................0.........-1............oxidation numbers

element oxidized = iodide anion

element reduced = bromine

formula of oxidizing agent = Br₂

formula of reducing agent = I^-
