Solution
The correct option is BCl2+2e−→2Cl− Conservation of mass and conservation of charge is seen in Cl2+2e−→2Cl1− Conservation of mass: Total mass of reactants is equal to total mass of products Total mass of reactants = mass of a chlorine molecule + mass of two electrons. It is equal to the mass of two chloride ions (product) Conservation of charge: Net charge on LHS is equal to net charge on RHS Net charge on both sides is -2.
