The reaction, 3ClO^(-) (aq) rarr ClO_(3)^(-) (aq)+2Cl^(-) (aq), is an example of

Answer»

OXIDATION reaction
Reduction reaction
Disproportionation reaction
Decomposition reaction

Solution :In the given reaction, the oxidtion state of the chlorine atom change from +1 (in `ClO^(-)`) to +5 (in `ClO_(3)^(-)`) and -1 (in `Cl^(-)`). This means that chlorine is getting oxidized as WELL as reduced. Such REACTIONS are CALLED disproportionation reactions
