Which best describes the oxidizing agent in this reaction?
cl2(aq) + 2brmc003-1.jpg(aq) mc003-2.jpg 2clmc003-3.jpg(aq) + br2(aq)
bromine (br) is the oxidizing agent because it gains an electron.
bromine (br) is the oxidizing agent because it loses an electron.
chlorine (cl) is the oxidizing agent because it gains an electron.
chlorine (cl) is the oxidizing agent because it loses an electron.

Chlorine (Cl) is the oxidizing agent because it gains an electron.

Explanation:

The redox reaction is:

On reactant side:

Oxidation state of chlorine = 0

Oxidation state of bromine = -1

On product side:

Oxidation state of chlorine = -1

Oxidation state of bromine =  0

The oxidation state of chlorine reduces from 0 to -1 it is getting reduced by gain of electrons and it undergoes reduction reaction. As chlorine gets reduced, it acts as oxidizing agent.

The oxidation state of bromine increases from -1 to 0. Thus, it is getting oxidized by loss of electrons and it undergoes oxidation reaction.As bromine gets oxidized, it acts as reducing agent.

Thus Chlorine (Cl) is the oxidizing agent because it gains an electron.

question: ray weighs 100 kilograms, his wrestling partner, bobby, weighs 50 kilograms. if ray moves at 4 m s , how fast will bobby have to run at him to apply an equal amount of kinetic energy?

answer: 8 m/s he needs to run twice as fast to keep up so he has some work to do

explanation:   if the mass has units of kilograms and the velocity of meters per second, the kinetic energy has units of kilograms-meters squared per second squared.
