The reaction, 3ClO (aq) ClO (aq) 2Cl (aq) → is an example of
A.oxidation reaction
B.reduction reaction
C.disproportionation reaction✓ Correct
D.decomposition reaction
Explanation
Given reaction is 3 3ClO (aq) ClO (aq) 2Cl (aq) → The disproportionation reaction is the redox reaction in which the same element undergoes oxidation and reduction. The oxidation state of chlorine in ClO is +1 The oxidation state of chlorine in 3 ClO is +5 (oxidation) The oxidation state of chlorine in Cl is -1 (reduction)
