The oxidation half-reaction for the given reaction is Fe(s) → Fe²⁺ + 2e⁻ Hence, Option (C) is correct

What is Oxidation reaction ?

Oxidation reaction is a chemical reaction which can be described as follows ;

  • Addition of oxygen
  • Removal of hydrogen
  • Loss of Electron
  • Addition of electronegative atom
  • Removal of Electropositive element

In the given reaction ;

Fe(s) + 2HCl(aq) → FeCl₂(aq) + H₂(g)

Fe at RHS got converted to Fe²⁺ state at LHS which shows the gain of electron by Fe with in the reaction.

Therefore,

The oxidation half-reaction for the given reaction is Fe(s) → Fe²⁺ + 2e⁻ Hence, Option (C) is correct
