Oxidation is the loss of electrons during a chemical reaction. The molecule that helps in the oxidation process is the oxidising agent and the molecule that gets oxidised acts as a reducing agent.
When Na₂S₂O₃ reacts with Cl₂, it gets oxidised. The reaction for the same is as follows:
Na₂S₂O₃ +4Cl+ 5H₂O →2NaHSO₄ + 8HCl
The number of oxygen atoms present in chemical formula of fuming sulphuric acid is _______.
