Question

In the following disproportionation of `Cl_(2)` in basic medium `Cl_(2)+2KOH rarr KCl+KClO+H_(2)O`
Equivalent mass of `Cl_(2)` is
A. `35.50`
B. `71.00`
C. `47.33`
D. `11.83`

Answer 1

Correct Answer - B
In a disproportionation reaction
net equivalent mass`= E`(oxidation part)`+E`(reduction part)

`Net=(M)/(2)+(M)/(2)=M=71.0`
