To balance the redox reaction \( \text{Cl}_2 + \text{KOH} \rightarrow \text{KOCl} + \text{KCl} + \text{H}_2\text{O} \), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify Oxidation States - In \( \text{Cl}_2 \), chlorine has an oxidation state of 0. - In \( \text{KOCl} \), the oxidation state of Cl is +1. - In \( \text{KCl} \), the oxidation state of Cl is -1. This indicates that chlorine is undergoing a disproportionation reaction, where it is both oxidized and reduced. ...
