The correct option is A Oxidation :12Cl2+6OH−⟶ClO−3+3H2O+5e− ; Reduction :12Cl2+e−⟶Cl−
The balanced chemical equation for the reaction of chlorine with NaOH is as follows:
3Cl2+6NaOH⟶5NaCl+NaClO3+3H2O
The oxidation half reaction is :12Cl2+6OH−⟶ClO−3+3H2O+5e−.
It represents the oxidation of chlorine to chlorate ions.
The reduction half reaction is :12Cl2+e−⟶Cl−.
It represents reduction of chlorine to chloride ion.
