Consider the following reaction `6NaOH+3Cl_(2) to 5NaCl+A+3H_(2)O`. What is the oxidation number of chlorine in ''A'' ?

A

`+5`

B

`-1`

C

`+3`

D

`+1`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Balance the equation `6NaOH+3Cl_(2) rarr 5NaCl+A+3H_(2)O` to get, `6NaOH+3Cl rarr 5NaCl+NaClO_(3)+3 H_(2)O`
`:.` A is `NaClO_(3)` where Cl is in +5 oxidation state
