**Question: What is being oxidized in the following reaction?**\[ 2\text{FeCl}_3 + \text{H}_2\text{S} \rightarrow 2\text{FeCl}_2 + \text{S} + 2\text{HCl} \]**Options:**- Iron in FeCl₃- Chloride in FeCl₃- Hydrogen in H₂S- Sulfide in H₂S- Iron in FeCl₂- Chloride in FeCl₂- Sulfur in the form of S- Hydrogen in HCl- Chloride in HCl**Explanation:**In this redox reaction, oxidation is the process where an element loses electrons. To identify which element is oxidized, examine changes in the oxidation states from reactants to products.

The addition of electrons or decreases in the oxidation state is known as a reduction reaction and the removal of electrons or increases in the oxidation state is known as an oxidation reaction.In a redox reaction: Oxidation reaction: Removal of the electron or increase in oxidation state is known as oxidation half-reaction. Reduction reaction: The addition of the electrons or decrease in the oxidation state is known as the reduction half-reaction.The oxidation states of the different species in the given reaction are as follows: 2FeCl3OS of Fe=+3 + H2SOS of S=-2 → 2FeCl2OS of Fe=+2 + SOS of S=o + 2HCl In this reaction the oxidation state of iron decreases from +3 to +2, hence iron is reduced, and the oxidation state of sulfur increases from -2 to 0, hence sulfur is oxidized.Thus the sulfur in H2S is oxidized to sulfur. The correct option is as follows: Sulfide in H2S
