Write the balanced chemical equation for the reaction of CI_(2) with hot and concentrated NaOH ? Is this reaction a disproportionation reaction ? Justify. |
|
Answer» Solution :`3 overset(0)(Cl_(2))+6NaOH(conc.)overset("Hot)rarr overset(-1)(5NaCl)+overset(+5)(NaClO_(3))+3H_(2)O` This is an example of a disproportionation reaction because the oxidation STATE of CHLORINE decreases from zero in `Cl_(2)` to -1 in NaCl and increases from zero in `Cl_(2)` to +5 in `NaClO_(3)`. |
