The reaction `3ClO^(ө)(aq)rarrClO_(3)(aq)+2Cl^(ө)(aq)` is an example ofA. Oxidation reactionB. reduction reactionC. disproportionation reactionD. decomposition reaction |
Answer» Correct Answer - C `Cl` atom is oxidized `(Cl^(+1) rarr Cl^(5+)+4e)` as well as `Cl` atom is reduced `(Cl^(1+)+2e rarr Cl^(-))`. Such reactions are called autoredox or disproportionation reactions. |
