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

The reaction
`3ClO^(ө)(aq)rarrClO_(3)^(-)(aq)+2Cl^(ө)(aq)`
is 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
O.N of Cl in `ClO^(-),ClO_(3)^(-) and Cl^(-)` ions are `+1, +5 and -1` respectively. Therefore, O.N of Cl increases from +1 (in `ClO^(-)` ions) to +5 (in `ClO^(-)` ion) and also decreases from +1 (in `ClO^(-)` ion) to -1 (in `Cl^(-)` ion). Therefore, it is a disproportionation reaction.
