Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) B, C, E only

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

A. Maximum oxidation state for \( \text{Cl} \) is \( +7 \). B. Deacon's process: \( 4\text{HCl}(g) + \text{O}_2(g) \xrightarrow{\text{CuCl}_2} 2\text{Cl}_2(g) + 2\text{H}_2\text{O}(g) \). C. Cold \( \text{NaOH} \) reaction:…
