    In which of the following reactions, the underlined substance has been oxidised?

    A)  \[\underline{B{{r}_{2}}}+{{H}_{2}}S\xrightarrow{{}}\underline{2HBr}+S\]

    B)  \[\underline{2HgC{{l}_{2}}}+SnC{{l}_{2}}\xrightarrow{{}}\underline{H{{g}_{2}}C{{l}_{2}}}+SnC{{l}_{4}}\]

    C)  \[C{{l}_{2}}+\underline{2KI}\xrightarrow{{}}2KCl+\underline{{{I}_{2}}}\]

    D)  \[\underline{2C{{u}^{2+}}}+4{{I}^{-}}\xrightarrow{{}}\underline{C{{u}_{2}}{{I}_{2}}}+{{I}_{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                    Oxidation is the addition of electronegative element or removal of electropositive elements. \[C{{l}_{2}}+\underline{2KI}\xrightarrow{{}}2KCl+\underline{{{I}_{2}}}\] In this reaction, the underlined species is oxidised as it involves the removal of electropositive element, ie, \[{{K}^{+}}\].
