Which of the following are oxidation half-reactions?

Cr2O72- → Cr3+

MnO4- → MnO2

Fe2+ → Fe3+

Cl- → Cl2

Respuesta :

The answer is the third choice because is oxidation half reactions, only the oxidation state of the reducing agent changes; in this third choice, Fe2+ is oxidized and becomes Fe3+. Just keep in mind that half reactions usually include the change in electrons:

Fe2+ -> Fe3+ +e-
