Question

Identify the redox reactions out of the following reactions and identify the oxidising and reducing agents in them.

\[\ce{HgCl2 (aq) + 2KI (aq) -> HgI2 (s) + 2KCl (aq)}\]

Short/Brief Note

Solution

\[\ce{\overset{+2}{Hg}\overset{-1}{Cl2} (aq) + 2\overset{+1}{K}\overset{-1}{I} (aq) -> \overset{+2}{Hg}\overset{-1}{I2} (s) + 2\overset{+1}{K}\overset{-1}{Cl} (aq)}\]

Here O.N. of none of the atoms undergo a change and therefore, this is not a redox reaction.
