oxidation
is Fe+Cl2>FeCl2 redox or not redox and how do i work it out? any help is muchly appreciated
cheers well i'd got it too...
Fe+Cl2>FeCl2
0+0>+2-1 (not sure if its -2 as its Cl2)
0>+1
...does this make it redox?
Fe+Cl2>FeCl2
0+0>+2-1 (not sure if its -2 as its Cl2)
0>+1
...does this make it redox?
ahhhhh knew i was missing something thanks a lot
Rubs
It's 0 on the RHS because your compound doesn't have a charge. The oxidation state of chlorine is -1, but you have two chlorines so you have -1 -1 so you get 0 overall.
rubs does it mean it goes on total oxidation number then and not oxidation state?
I'm not entirely sure what you mean but when you're asked for the oxidation state of chlorine you'd say -1 because you have to refer to the oxidation state of 1 chlorine, even if there's 2 or more. However when you're considering the other atoms you have to take account of the total oxidation number of the other elements - so for Fe you have to remember you have two chlorines; to balance that and make a 0 overall charge Fe has to be +2.
ok cheers, you reckon this is an acceptable answer?
"redox or not redox?"
Fe+Cl2>FeCl2
0+0>+2-2
"Fe has been oxidised from 0>+2 and CL reduced to 0>-1 so a redox reaction
"redox or not redox?"
Fe+Cl2>FeCl2
0+0>+2-2
"Fe has been oxidised from 0>+2 and CL reduced to 0>-1 so a redox reaction
o cool cheers for the help mate
