Chlorine reacts with cold, dilute aqueous sodium hydroxide as shown in the equation:

$${Cl}_2+2NaOH\to NaClO+NaCl+H_{2}O$$

1. Determine the oxidation state of chlorine in $NaClO$ and in $NaCl$.
2. State, in terms of redox, what happens to chlorine in this reaction.

Solution X contains two different negative ions. To a sample of solution X in a test tube, a student adds:

• silver nitrate solution
• then an excess of dilute nitric acid
• finally an excess of dilute ammonia solution.

The observations after each addition are recorded in the table below:

1. Give the formulas of D, E, and F.
2. Give an ionic equation to show the formation of E.
3. Give an equation to show the conversion of D into G.
