What happens when chlorine gas is passed through a hot concentrated solution of NaOH ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

On treatment with hot concentrated NaOH, `Cl_(2)` undergoes disproportionation to form sodium chloride and sodium chlorate.
`3 overset(0)(Cl_(2)) (g) + 3NaOH (aq) overset("Hot")rarr 5 Naoverset(-1)(Cl) (aq) + underset("Sod. chlorate")(Naoverset(+5)(ClO)_(3))(aq)+3H_(2)O (l)`
