Question

In the reaction
`2FeCl_(3)+H_(2)Srarr2FeCl_(2)+2HCl+S`
A. `FeCl_(3)` acts as an oxidising agent
B. Both `H_(2)S` and `FeCl_(3)` are oxidised
C. `FeCl_(3)` is oxidised while `H_(2)S` is reduced
D. `H_(2)S` acts as an oxidising agent

Answer 1

Correct Answer - A
`e^(-)+Fe^(3+)rarrFe^2+) ("Reduction")`
Therefore, `FeCl_(3)` acts as an oxidising agent.
