What products are expected from the desproprtionation reactin of hypochorous acid ?A. ` HClO_2` and ` HClO_4`B. ` HClO_3` and ` Cl_2O`C. ` HCl` and ` Cl_2 O`D. ` HCl` and ` HClO_3`

Answer» Correct Answer - D
The hypohalite ions tend to disproprtionate, particularly in basic solution . The rate of desproportionation reaction increases with temperature:
` 3OX^(-) rarr 2X^(-) + XO_3^(-)`
or ` 3HO overset (+1) (CI) rarr 2H overset (-1) (CI) + H overset (+5) (CI)O_3`.
