Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

ClO ominus arrow ClO 3 ominus+4 e - text (oxidation) x-2=-1 x-6=-1 x=+1 x=5 2 e -+ ClO ominus arrow Cl ominus text (reducation) x=1 x=-1 Hence, disproportionation

Q. The reaction
$3 Cl O^{⊖} (a q) \to Cl O_{3} (a q) + 2 C l^{⊖} (a q)$ is an example of

Oxidation

Reduction

Disproportionation

Decomposition

$Cl O^{⊖} \to Cl O_{3}^{⊖} + 4 e^{-} (oxidation)$
$x - 2 = - 1 x - 6 = - 1$
$x = + 1 x = 5$
$2 e^{-} + Cl O^{⊖} \to C l^{⊖} (reducation)$
$x = 1 x = - 1$
Hence, disproportionation
