Observe the following reaction:
$Cl_{2(g)} + 2OH^{-}_{(aq)} \rightarrow ClO^{-}_{(aq)} + Cl^{-}_{(aq)} + H_2O_{(l)}$
Identify the correct statements about this reaction:
$I$. $Cl_{2(g)}$ is oxidized to $ClO^{-}_{(aq)}$
$II$. $Cl_{2(g)}$ is oxidized to $Cl^{-}_{(aq)}$
$III$. $Cl_{2(g)}$ is reduced to $ClO^{-}_{(aq)}$
$IV$. $Cl_{2(g)}$ is reduced to $Cl^{-}_{(aq)}$
The correct answer is:

  • A
    $I, IV$ only
  • B
    $I, III$ only
  • C
    $I, II, IV$ only
  • D
    $II, III$ only
