Q. In which of the following compounds oxidation state of chlorine has two different values?

Redox Reactions

Solution:

$CaOCl_{2} \to Ca^{2+} + OCl^{-} + Cl^{-}$
in $OCl^{-}$ (hypochlorite ion oxidation state of $Cl$)
$= -2 + x= -1 \Rightarrow x = +1$
In $Cl^{-}$ oxidation state of chlorine $= -1$
