The products obtained when chlorine gas reacts with cold and dilute aqueous \(NaOH\) are :

  1. A \(ClO^-\) and \(ClO_3^-\)
  2. B \(ClO_2^-\) and \(ClO_3^-\)
  3. C \(Cl^-\) and \(ClO^-\)
  4. D \(Cl^-\) and \(ClO_2^-\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(Cl^-\) and \(ClO^-\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Dissolving the halogens in \(NaOH\) can in principle be used to make all the hypohalite ions. The reaction is \(\mathrm{Cl}_{2}+2 \mathrm{NaOH}(\mathrm{cold} / \mathrm{dilute}) \rightarrow \mathrm{NaCl}+\mathrm{NaOCl}+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\)
