Study the reaction. 2Na + Cl2 2NACI Which is true based on this reaction? O Cl, is oxidized to CF because Cl, loses electrons and electrons are lost in oxidation reactions. O C) is a reducing agent because Cl, loses electrons and is oxidized to CF. O Na is a reducing agent because Na loses electrons and is oxidized to Na*. O Na is reduced to Na because Na gains electrons and electrons are gained in reduction reactions.
