In the reaction : `Cl_(2)+2OH^(-)toOCl^(-)+Cl^(-)+H_(2)O`

A

`OH^(-)` is oxidising and `Cl^(-)` is reducing agent

B

`Cl_(2)` is oxidising and `OH^(-)` is reducing agent

C

`OH^(-)` is both oxidising and reducing agent

D

`Cl_(2)` is both oxidising and reducing agent.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
`Cl_(2)+2OH^(-)toOCl^(-)+Cl^(-)+H_(2)O`
O.N . Of Cl changes from 0 to +1 (in `Ocl^(-))and-1 "in" (Cl^(-))`.
