Redox — practice question

The reaction equation for iron(II) sulfate with bromine is given as: $6\text{FeSO}_4 + 3\text{Br}_2 \rightarrow 2\text{Fe}_2(\text{SO}_4)_3 + 2\text{FeBr}_3$. Which row correctly names the oxidising agent and the reducing agent?

  • Aoxidising agent: $\text{Br}_2$; reducing agent: $\text{FeSO}_4$
  • Boxidising agent: $\text{FeSO}_4$; reducing agent: $\text{Br}_2$
  • Coxidising agent: $\text{FeBr}_3$; reducing agent: $\text{Fe}_2(\text{SO}_4)_3$
  • Doxidising agent: $\text{Fe}_2(\text{SO}_4)_3$; reducing agent: $\text{FeBr}_3$
