In the reaction, NO(2)^(-)+OC l to NO(3)...

In the reaction, `NO_(2)^(-)+OC l to NO_(3)^(-)+Cl^(-)`, the oxidation state of chlorine

A

Does not change

B

Changes from +1 to -1

C

Changes from -2 to -1

D

Changes from 0 to -1

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Oxidation state of chlorine in `OC l^(-) and Cl^(-)` is:
`{:(OC l^(-),Cl^(-)),(-2+x=-1,thereforex=-1),(thereforex=+1,):}`
Hence, the oxidation state of chlorine changes from +1 to -1.
