Redox Chemistry Synthlet
Synthlets are small software applications – applets – that use simple theories, models & techniques to predict the synthesis of small molecules.Predict the outcome of redox reactions with this Synthlet. Select oxidising agents and reducing agents from the drop boxes below:

|
| Oxidising agent gains electron(s): reduction reaction Cl2 → Cl– E° = +1.36 |
|
|
| Reducing agent releases electron(s): oxidation reaction Na → Na+ E° = -2.71 |

Rule:
The reaction will proceed in a
forward direction, from left to right, if the cell potential
E°cell is net positive.

Sodium, the reducing agent, is oxidised to Sodium ion by Chlorine
and Chlorine,
the oxidising agent, is reduced to Chloride ion by Sodium. |
