Write a balanced equation for the reaction of `Cl_(2)` with cold and dilute NaOH.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

On treatment with cold dil. NaOH, `Cl_(2)` undergoes disproportionation to form sodium chloride and sodium hypochlorite.
`overset(0)(Cl_(2))(g) + 2NaOH (dil.)overset("Cold")rarrNaoverset(-1)(Cl)(aq) + underset("Sod. hypochlorite")(NaOoverset(+1)(Cl)(aq))+H_(2)O(l)`
