Write the balanced chemical equation for the reaction of `Cl_(2)` with hot and concentrated NaOH. Is this reaction a disproportionation reaction? Justify.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`3Cl_(2) + 6NaOHto5NaCl + NaClO_(3) + 3H_(2)O`. This is a disproportionation reaction, because here chlorine from zero oxidation state is changed to -1 and +5 oxidation states.
