Q16 / 54 · NTA Abhyas (JEE Main) 2020 · Chemistry · Redox Reactions

Select the nature or type of redox change in the following reaction:-

Cl2→ ClO- + Cl-

  • Correct answer
    A
    Disproportionation
  • B
    Intramolecular redox
  • C
    Intermolecular redox
  • D
    None of the above

Solution

Auto-redox or disproportionation is the one in which same substance is oxidized and reduced as well.

Intramolecular redox change is the one in which one element of a compound is oxidized and the other element is reduced.

Intermolecular redox is the one in which one of the two reactants is oxidized and the other is reduced.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
