Observe the following reaction Cl2( g)+2OH−(aq)→ClO−(aq)+Cl−(aq)+H2O(l)\mathrm{Cl}_2(\mathrm{~g})+2 \mathrm{OH}^{-}(\mathrm{aq}) \rightarrow \mathrm{ClO}^{-}(\mathrm{aq})+\mathrm{Cl}^{-}(\mathrm{aq})+\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}(\mathrm{l}) Identify the correct statements about this reaction I. Cl2( g)\mathrm{Cl}_2(\mathrm{~g}) is oxidized to ClO−\mathrm{ClO}^{-}(aq) II. Cl2( g)\mathrm{Cl}_2(\mathrm{~g}) is oxidized to Cl−(aq)\mathrm{Cl}^{-}(\mathrm{aq}) III. Cl2( g)\mathrm{Cl}_2(\mathrm{~g}) is reduced to ClO−\mathrm{ClO}^{-}(aq) IV. Cl2( g)\mathrm{Cl}_2(\mathrm{~g}) is reduced to Cl−(aq)\mathrm{Cl}^{-}(\mathrm{aq}) The correct answer is

Options

  1. AI, IV only
  2. BI, III only
  3. CI, II, IV only
  4. DII, III only

Correct answer

A. I, IV only

Step-by-step solution

In the given reaction, Cl2\mathrm{Cl}_2 is getting disproportionated into +1 state in ClO−\mathrm{ClO}^{-}and -1 state in Cl−\mathrm{Cl}^{-}. Cl2\mathrm{Cl}_2 to ClO−\mathrm{ClO}^{-}is oxidation while Cl2\mathrm{Cl}_2 to Cl−\mathrm{Cl}^{-}is reduction.
