Cl2 + 2 NaOH ==> NaCl + NaOCl + H2O for cold NaOH

 

3 Cl2 + 6 NaOH ==> 5 NaCl + NaClO3 + 3 H2O for hot NaOH

 

Chlorine is oxidized much more strongly with hot NaOH than cold

Cl2 starts neutral and becomes +1 in NaOCl

Cl2 starts neutral and becomes +5 in NaClO3

the heat and concentrated NaOH are stronger oxidizing agents than cold dilute NaOH
