In the reaction: , the chlorine is:
- A.Only oxidized
- B.Only reduced
- C.Both oxidized and reduced (disproportionation)Correct answer
- D.Neither oxidized nor reduced
Solution
In , the oxidation state of chlorine is 0. In , it is +5 (oxidized), and in , it is -1 (reduced). Since the same element undergoes both oxidation and reduction simultaneously, it is a disproportionation reaction.
