The reaction that takes place when \[\text{C}{{\text{l}}_{\text{2}}}\]gas is passed through cone. NaOH solution is

A)  oxidation                           

B)  reduction

C)  displacement  

D)  disproportionation

Correct Answer: D

Solution :

                 When \[\text{C}{{\text{l}}_{2}}\]gas is passed through cone NaOH solution, following reaction takes place. Here, the same element undergoes oxidation and reduction simultaneously, hence it is an example of disproportionation reaction.
