Which of the following equations represents the reaction of chlorine gas with hot concentrated sodium hydroxide solution?

A. 2KOH+CI2 → KCIO + KCI + H2O
B. 4KOH + 2CI2 → 4KCI + 2H2O + O2
C. 6KOH + 3CI2 → KCIO3 + 5KCI + 3H2O
D. 2KOH + CI2 → 2KCI + H2O2
E. KOH + 2CI2 + H2O → KCI + 3HCI + O2

Correct Answer:

Option C – 6KOH + 3CI2 → KCIO3 + 5KCI + 3H2O
