-
1) Iodine goes from an ox num of 0 to an ox num of -1. This constitutes a gain of electrons aka reduction. Therefore, iodine is a) reduced.
2) Na goes from an ox num of 0 to an ox num of +1. This constitutes a loss of electrons aka oxidation. Therefore Na is oxidized.
3) C goes from -4 to +4. This is a loss of elections aka oxidation. Carbon is oxidized.
The reducing agent is the agent that gets oxidized. Therefore, carbon is the reducing agent.
4) I, II
5) Cl goes from +5 to -1, a gain of 6 electrons.
Fe goes from +2 to +3, a loss of 1 electron. Therefore, the coefficient is 6.
