In basic medium, Cl₂ disproportionates into Cl⁻ and ClOₓ⁻. If there is loss and gain of one mole of electron per mole of Cl₂, the value of x is

Options:

Answer:
B
Solution:

Per mole of Cl₂, one Cl gains 1 e⁻ (to Cl⁻) and the other loses 1 e⁻ (to +1). Cl at +1 in an oxoanion is ClO⁻, so x = 1. Hence (b).
