Solution
The correct option is DNaCl,NaOCl,H2O
Cl2+2NaOH→NaCl+NaOCl+H2O
Many non-metals react with bases to form salts. One atom of Chlorine gains an electron and is converted into chloride ion Cl and the other loses an electron and forms hychlorite ion ClO. This is a good example of a disproportionation reaction. A disproportionation reaction is one in which a single substance is both oxidised and reduced.
