7th edition 6K.3.d.

Postby Ryan Danis 1J » Thu Feb 28, 2019 12:43 pm

This question asks to balance the following redox reaction:

Reaction of Chlorine in water
Cl2(g) -> HClO(aq) + Cl2(g)

I am confused because it appears that Cl is being oxidized from 0 (in CL2) to +1 (in HCLO), but I cannot find what is being reduced.

The Cl2 on the right side should be Cl-, it is a typo
