The reaction `3ClO^(-)(aq)rarrClO_(3)^(-)(aq)+2Cl^(-)(aq)` an example of :A. Oxidation reactionB. Reduction reactionC. Disproportionation reactionD. Decomposition reaction

Answer» Correct Answer - C
`3overset(+1)(Cl)O^(-)(aq) to overset(+5)(Cl)O_3^(-) (aq) +2overset(-1)(Cl^(-))(aq)`
In this reaction oxidation state of Cl simultaneously increase (from +1 to 5) and decrease (first +1 to -1). Thus it is an example of disproportionation reaction.
