Question

Consider the reaction below.
 
S2O32‒(aq) + 4 Cl2(g) + 5 H2O(l) → 2 SO42‒(aq) + 8 Cl(aq) + 10 H+(aq)
 
What is the oxidation number of S in S2O32? :                                ["-2", "-1", "0", "+1", "+2", "+4", "+6"] 

         
What is the oxidation number of S in SO42‒? :                               ["-2", "-1", "0", "+1", "+2", "+4", "+6"]           

In the reaction, Clis:                           

["the reducing agent", "the oxidizing agent", "neither oxidized nor reduced"]            .
