Redox Reactions Question 6
Question 6 - 2024 (29 Jan Shift 1)
Chlorine undergoes disproportionation in alkaline medium as shown below :
$aCl _2(g)+bOH^{-}(aq) \rightarrow cClO^{-}(aq)+dCl^{-}(aq)+e _2 O(l)$
The values of $a, b, c$ and $d$ in a balanced redox reaction are respectively:
(1) 1, 2, 1 and 1
(2) 2, 2, 1 and 3
(3) 3, 4, 4 and 2
(4) 2, 4, 1 and 3
Show Answer
Answer (1)
Solution
$\Rightarrow Cl _2+2 \overline{O} H \longrightarrow Cl^{-}+ClO^{-}+H _2 O$
