Some oxidants: - Solid liquid gaseous ( i) manganese dioxide [ MnO2] (i) nitric acid [ HNO3] (i) oxygen [ O2] (ii) potassium permanganate [ KMnO4] (ii) concentrated sulfuric acid [ H ] (ii) ozone [ O3] (iii) potassium di-chromate [ K2Cr2O7] (iii) hydrogen peroxide [ H2O2] (iii) fluorine [ F] (iv) red lead [ Pb3O4] (iv) liquid bromine [ Br2] i ) Chlorine [ Cl2] 6 Examples of oxidative power of some oxidants: - Example of oxidation of oxidants A substance oxidizes by oxidizing O2 C + O2 = CO2 C , oxidizes C → CO2 HNO3 C + 4HNO3 = CO2 + 4NO2 + 2H2O C , concentrates C → CO2 H2SO4 S + 2H2SO4 = 3SO2 + 2H2O S - oxidizes , S → SO2 H2O2 PbS + 4H2O2 = PbSO4 + 4H2O PbS - oxidizes , PbS → PbSO4 Cl2 H2S + Cl2 = 2HCl + S2 - H2. একই S The same substance can never be oxidized again and again in the form of toxins: one oxidant in one reaction can be used as an oxidizer in another reaction. For example , during the reaction of Br2 with SO2 , SO2 decomposes Br2 into HBr . SO2 is a toxic substance in this reaction .
