The reaction, 3 ClO ⁻ ClO ₃⁻+2 Cl ⁻ occurs in two steps: i. 2 ClO ⁻ ClO ₂⁻+ Cl ⁻ ii. ClO ₂⁻+ ClO ⁻ ClO ₃⁻+ Cl ⁻ , the reaction intermediate is:
Options
- ACl ⁻
- BClO ₂⁻
- CClO ₃⁻
- DClO ⁻
Correct answer
B. ClO ₂⁻
Step-by-step solution
ClO ₂⁻ is produced in step (i) and consumed in step (ii). Therefore, ClO ₂⁻ is the reaction intermediate.
