chapter 6. CHEMICAL KINETICS class 12 chemistry textbook solution
1. Choose the most correct option.
vii. The reaction, 3 ClO→ ClO3 +2 Cl occurs in two steps,
(i) 2 ClO- →ClO2
(ii) ClO2 + ClO →ClO3 + Cl
The reaction intermediate is
a. Cl
b. ClO2
c. ClO3
d. ClO
Answer:-
The reaction, \[ \ce{3ClO^- \rightarrow ClO_3^- + 2Cl^-} \] occurs in two steps,
(i) \[ \ce{2ClO^- \rightarrow ClO_2^-} \]
(ii) \[ \ce{ClO_2^- + ClO^- \rightarrow ClO_3^- + Cl^-} \]
The reaction intermediate is \( \ce{ClO_2^-} \).
