Question

statement -1cl2 +2oh-_clo-+cl-is a disproportion reaction statement -2in disproportion the same element get oxidised as well as reduce
​

Answer 1

Answer:

The given reaction is disproportion reaction as Cl in the reaction is oxidized as well as reduced. Disproportionation is a specific type of redox reaction in which an element from a reaction undergoes both oxidation and reduction to form two different products.

In the reaction the oxidation state of Cl in ClO

3

−

is +5 which is decreasing to either 0 in Cl

2

or +4 in ClO

2

. Means Cl is reduced and acting as oxidizing agent.

And the oxidation state of Cl in Cl

−

is −1 which is increasing to either 0 in Cl

2

or +4 in ClO

2

. Means Cl is oxidized and acting as reducing agent
