The species getting oxidized by 1M HCl needs to be identified. Concept introduction: A reducing or a reductant is a species that loses electron/s and gets oxidized in the chemical reaction . The reducing agent is usually in one of its lower probable oxidation states, is recognized as the electron donor. Since, the reducing agent in the redox reaction loses electron/s, reducing agent gets oxidized. An oxidizing agent is an agent which gains the electrons and get reduced within the chemical reaction. It is also recognized as electron acceptor; it is usually in one of its higher probable oxidation states so that it can reduce after accepting electron/s. Spontaneity of a reaction is dependent on the free energy sign that is Δ G o . It should be negative for a reaction to be spontaneous. Since, Δ G = − n F E o Here, n = number of electrons involved in reaction and F is faraday constant. If the value of E° for a reaction is positive, then the reaction occurs spontaneous.

Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The species getting oxidized by 1M HCl needs to be identified.
Concept introduction:
A reducing or a reductant is a species that loses electron/s and gets oxidized in the chemical reaction. The reducing agent is usually in one of its lower probable oxidation states, is recognized as the electron donor. Since, the reducing agent in the redox reaction loses electron/s, reducing agent gets oxidized.
An oxidizing agent is an agent which gains the electrons and get reduced within the chemical reaction. It is also recognized as electron acceptor; it is usually in one of its higher probable oxidation states so that it can reduce after accepting electron/s.
Spontaneity of a reaction is dependent on the free energy sign that is ΔGo. It should be negative for a reaction to be spontaneous.
Since,
ΔG=−nFEo
Here, n = number of electrons involved in reaction and F is faraday constant.
If the value of E° for a reaction is positive, then the reaction occurs spontaneous.
