The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to identify the halogen that is a greenish-yellow gas, determine the reaction it undergoes with hot and concentrated sodium hydroxide (NaOH), and analyze the changes in its oxidation state. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Halogen:** - The halogen that is a greenish-yellow gas is chlorine (Cl2). 2. **Write the Reaction:** - When chlorine gas reacts with hot and concentrated sodium hydroxide, the reaction can be represented as: \[ \text{Cl}_2 + \text{NaOH} \rightarrow \text{NaClO}_3 + \text{NaCl} + \text{H}_2\text{O} \] 3. **Balance the Reaction:** - The balanced chemical equation for the reaction is: \[ 3\text{Cl}_2 + 6\text{NaOH} \rightarrow \text{NaClO}_3 + 5\text{NaCl} + 3\text{H}_2\text{O} \] 4. **Determine the Oxidation States:** - In Cl2, the oxidation state of chlorine is 0 (as it is in its elemental form). - In sodium chloride (NaCl), the oxidation state of chlorine is -1. - In sodium chlorate (NaClO3), we need to calculate the oxidation state of chlorine. Let x be the oxidation state of chlorine: \[ x + 3(-2) + 1 = 0 \implies x - 6 + 1 = 0 \implies x = +5 \] - Therefore, the oxidation states of chlorine in the products are -1 in NaCl and +5 in NaClO3. 5. **Conclusion:** - The oxidation state of chlorine changes from 0 in Cl2 to -1 in NaCl and +5 in NaClO3. Thus, the change in oxidation states is from 0 to -1 and +5. 6. **Select the Correct Option:** - The correct option that matches this change is option 4: 0 to -1 and +5. ### Final Answer: The oxidation state of chlorine changes from 0 to -1 and +5. ---
