Potassium chloride is only a salt.
because it is both strong oxidising and reducing agent
No iodide is a reducing (the opposite of oxidizing) agent at least with potassium iodide.
When some substances are oxidised or reduced, there is a colour change.Testing for a reducing agent:An oxidising agent is a substance that causes another substance to be oxidised & is itself reduced. Acidified potassium manganate (VII) is an example of one. While it oxidises other substances, the manganate ion is reduced (because the oxidation state decreases showing that reduction is occuring) :MnO4- --> Mn2+oxdations state:+VII+2colour:PinkColourlessSo, to see if an unknown substance is a reducing agent, add acidifies potassium manganate (VII) to see if the pink colour fades. If it does, you know the unknown substance was a reducing agent, because it caused reduction.Testing for an oxidising agent:A reducing agent is a substance which causes reduction, but is oxidised itself. Potassium iodide is a powerful reducing agent. While it reduces other substances, the iodide ion is oxidised (because the oxidising state increases) resulting in a colour change:2I- -->I2Oxidising state:-10 (the oxidising state of a diatomic molecule is 0)Colour:ColourlessRed-brownSo, to see if an unknown substance is an oxidising agent, add potassium iodide to see if a red-brown colour appears. If it does, you know your unknown substance is an oxidising agent because it caused a reduction
Yes, Potassium manganate(VII), K2MnO4 or Potassium permanganate is an oxidizing agent
No, reacting zinc with hydrogen chloride will yield zinc chloride and hydrogen gas. Potassium chloride can be prepared by reacting potassium with hydrogen chloride or (more safely) potassium hydroxide with hydrogen chloride.

No, potassium chloride contains potassium chloride.
Potassium chloride
Hypo is a reducing agent when combined with Na.
Potassium chloride is react with AgNO3 , the chloride ion subtract from potassium chloride to form silver chloride precipitate and potassium nirate. KCl + AgNO3 → KNO3 + AgCl↓
Potassium Iodide is used as a test for oxidising agent. When mixed with the oxidising agent it will turn brown.Example: FluorineIodide is yellow in colour.

No, reacting zinc with hydrogen chloride will yield zinc chloride and hydrogen gas. Potassium chloride can be prepared by reacting potassium with hydrogen chloride or (more safely) potassium hydroxide with hydrogen chloride.
Ketones resist oxidation by most oxidising agents, including potassium dichromate and molecular oxygen.
