In a reaction, the reagent, which is reduced or remove hydrogen from the other reactant (reagent), is termed as oxidising agent.

Hence, in all of the above reactions, chlorine acts as an oxidising agent.

Q. In which of the following reactions, chlorine acts as an oxidising agent ? (i) CH3​CH2​OH+Cl2​⟶CH3​CHO+HCl (ii) CH3​CHO+Cl2​⟶CCl3​⋅CHO+HCl (iii) CH4​+Cl2​⟶hv​CH3​Cl+HCl The correct answer is

(i) only

(ii) only

(i) and (iii)

(i), (ii) and (iii)

In a reaction, the reagent, which is reduced or remove hydrogen from the other reactant (reagent), is termed as oxidising agent. Hence, in all of the above reactions, chlorine acts as an oxidising agent.

Q. In which of the following reactions, chlorine acts as an oxidising agent ?
(i) $C H_{3} C H_{2} O H + C l_{2} ⟶ C H_{3} C H O + H Cl$
(ii) $C H_{3} C H O + C l_{2} ⟶ CC l_{3} \cdot C H O + H Cl$
(iii) $C H_{4} + C l_{2} ⟶ h v C H_{3} Cl + H Cl$
The correct answer is

In a reaction, the reagent, which is reduced or remove hydrogen from the other reactant (reagent), is termed as oxidising agent.

Hence, in all of the above reactions, chlorine acts as an oxidising agent.
