When Cl2 gas is passed through conc NaOH solution, following reaction takes place. <img class="img-fluid question-image" alt="image" src="https://cdn.tardigrade.in/img/question/chemistry/701af8f70f67e04c186ce97e1d3da109-.png" /> Here, the same element undergoes oxidation and reduction simultaneously, hence it is an example of disproportionation reaction.

Q. The reaction that takes place when $C l_{2}$ gas is passed through $co n c . N a O H$ solution is :

Oxidation

Reduction

Displacement

Disproportionation

When $C l_{2}$ gas is passed through conc $N a O H$ solution, following reaction takes place.

Here, the same element undergoes oxidation and reduction simultaneously, hence it is an example of disproportionation reaction.
