Detailed Solution

  • Cl2​+2NaOH(dil.) cold​NaCl+NaOCl+H2​O
    3Cl2​+6NaOH(conc.) heat5NaCl+NaClO3​+3H2​O
    Chlorine undergoes the simultaneous oxidation-reduction. 
  • Chlorine is simultaneously reduced to chloride ion (Cl−) and is oxidized to either ClO or ClO3 ion. 
  • Halogens (e.g. Cl) have a strong tendency to accept electrons, so they act as strong oxidizing agents.
