Cl has an oxidation number of –1 in Cl2. It is then oxidized to Cl with an oxidation number of 1 in both HCl and HClO.C
Cl has an oxidation number of 0 in Cl2. It is then reduced to CI- with an oxidation number of –1 in both HCl and HClO.D
Cl has an oxidation number of 0 in Cl2. It is then reduced to CI- with an oxidation number of –1 in HCl and is oxidized to Cl+ with an oxidation number +1 in HClO.
