Interpretation: The number of moles of electrons are to be calculated for each consumed moles of chlorine gas in the given redox reaction.
Concept introduction: The number of moles of electrons involved in a redox reaction is always equal with the charge, which is transferred during the whole reaction. To balance “n” positive charges, “n” number of moles of electrons is always involved.
The species which accepts electrons is known as, oxidizing agent while the species which donates electrons is known as, reducing agent. In other words the oxidizing agent is itself a reduced species while the reducing agent is itself an oxidized species.
To determine: The number of moles of electrons for each consumed moles of chlorine gas in the given redox reaction.
