The reaction 3ClO^(-)(aq)rarrClO(3)^(-)(...

The reaction `3ClO^(-)(aq)rarrClO_(3)^(-)(aq)+2Cl^(-)(aq)` an example of :

A

Oxidation reaction

B

Reduction reaction

C

Disproportionation reaction

D

Decomposition reaction

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`3overset(+1)(Cl)O^(-)(aq) to overset(+5)(Cl)O_3^(-) (aq) +2overset(-1)(Cl^(-))(aq)`
In this reaction oxidation state of Cl simultaneously increase (from +1 to 5) and decrease (first +1 to -1). Thus it is an example of disproportionation reaction.
