What is the oxidizing agent in the following equation?

2 Na(s) + Cl2(g) => 2 Na+1 2 Cl-1

NOTE: The "2" in the formula Cl2 is intended to be a subscript.

- Na (s)
- Cl2 (g)
- Na+1 (aq)
- Cl-1 (aq)


In an acidic solution
 - [H3O+1] > [OH-1]
 - [H3O+1] = [OH-1]
 - [OH-1] > [H3O+1]
 - None of these

Thanks Howard.

How about this statement? Not sure which is correct..

In an acidic solution:

    - [H3O+1] > [OH-1]

    -[H3O+1] = [OH-1]

    -[OH-1] > [H3O+1]
   
    -None of these

Oxidizing agent is the one which is reduced, for eg in the first example== Cl2 charge in the reactants is 0 where as the chanrge in the product is -1

one thing that might help is "leo the lion goes ger"
loose electrons oxidize, gaining electrons is reduction
(LEO)                               (GER)
