Cu2Cl2 (s) + HClO (aq) + H+(aq)-------> Cl- (aq) + Cu2+ (aq) + H2O(l)
Copper in Cu2Cl2 (s) in +1 oxidation state
ionic half reactions are as follows
reduction half reaction
ClO-(aq) + 2H+(aq) + 2e----------> Cl-(aq) + H2O(l)
Chlorine change oxidation number from +1 to -1
Oxidation half reaction
(Cu+ ----------------------------------->Cu2+(aq) + e-)x2
Oxidatin number of copper change from +1 to +2
Overall reaction
2Cu+(aq) + ClO-(aq) + 2H+(aq)------------->2Cu2+(aq) + Cl-(aq)+ H2O(l)
2Cu2Cl2 (s) + HClO (aq) + H+(aq) ------->5Cl- (aq) +
2Cu2+ (aq) + H2O(l)
