On passing chlorine gas into hot and concentrated NaOH solution, sodium chlorate and sodium chloride are obtained. ∴ Oxidation number of chlorine changes from 0 to + 5 and 0 to -1.

Q. If $C l_{2}$ is passed into hot $N a O H$ solution, oxidation number of chlorine changes from (1) 0 to + 5 (2) 0 to -1 (3) 0 to +1 (4) 0 to +7

1, 2 and 3 are correct.

1 and 2 are correct.

2 and 4 are correct.

1 and 3 are correct.

On passing chlorine gas into hot and concentrated $N a O H$ solution, sodium chlorate and sodium chloride are obtained.
$∴$ Oxidation number of chlorine changes from 0 to + 5 and 0 to -1.
