The following equation is an example of a redox reaction, in which $\mathrm{Cl}_2$ is the oxidising agent and $\mathrm{FeBr}_3$ is the reducing agent: $2 \mathrm{FeBr}_3(\mathrm{aq})+3 \mathrm{Cl}_2(\mathrm{~g})=2 \mathrm{FeCl}_3(\mathrm{aq})+3 \mathrm{Br}_2(1)$ Which one among the following statements is incorrect for this redox reaction?

• A

  Oxidizing agents are themselves reduced
• Correct answer
  B

  Reducing agents gain or appear to gain electrons
• C

  Reducing agents are themselves oxidized
• D

  Oxidizing agents oxidize other substances.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
