8 Cl2 + Fe2O3 + OH:- → H2O + Cl:- + FeO4:2
Answer:
Disproportionation reaction between Cl2 and OH is
Cl2 + OH- → Cl- + ClO4 + H2O.
means both oxidation and reduction occur in single reaction.
In this reaction cl2 has zero oxidation state, it is changed into Cl - which has -1 oxidation state and into ClO4 which has +7 oxidation state. Since there is both increase and decreas of oxidation stae in the given reaction is disproportionation. Generally in redox chemical reactions one entity is oxidized and other is reduced. In a disproportionation reaction one entity under goes both oxidation as well as reduction and two different products are formed.
