Study the reaction. 2Na + Cl2 → 2NaCI Which is true based on this reaction? Na is reduced to Na* because Na gains electrons and electrons are gained in reduction reactions. Cl2 is a reducing agent because Cl2 loses electrons and is oxidized to CIF. Cl, is oxidized to CI- because Cl2 loses electrons and electrons are lost in oxidation reactions. Na is a reducing agent because Na loses electrons and is oxidized to Na*.

What type of chemical reaction may involve a metal atom transferring one or more electrons to a metal cation, producing a new metal atom and a new metal cation? a) double replacement b) single replacement c) synthesis d) decomposition
Lead in the water pipe surface have two oxidation states (as PbO and PbO₂). PbO can transform into dissolved species in the drinking water, so that a strong oxidizing agent (free chlorine, Cl₂) is used to prevent this process by further oxidizing PbO into the non-soluble species, PbO₂. Balance the net chemical reaction below. Show your process. PbO + Cl₂ + H₂O PbO₂ + H + CI™
