A net cell reaction is given as Cr+3H(...

A net cell reaction is given as
`Cr+3H_(2)O+Ocl^(-)rarrCr^(3+)+3Cl^(-)+6OH^(-)`
The species undergoing reduction is

A

Cr

B

`H_(2)O`

C

`Ocl^(-)`

D

`Cl^(-)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
In going from `Ocl^(-)` of `Cl^(-), Cl` changes its oxidation from +1 to 01, by undergoing gain of electrons.
