In the disproportionation reaction 3 ClO−(aq)→ClO3−(aq)+2 Cl−(aq)3\,\mathrm{ClO^-}(aq) \rightarrow \mathrm{ClO_3^-}(aq) + 2\,\mathrm{Cl^-}(aq), which statement correctly identifies the species oxidized and the species reduced? a) ClO3−\mathrm{ClO_3^-} is oxidized to ClO−\mathrm{ClO^-}, and ClO−\mathrm{ClO^-} is reduced to Cl−\mathrm{Cl^-}. b) ClO−\mathrm{ClO^-} is oxidized to Cl−\mathrm{Cl^-}, and ClO−\mathrm{ClO^-} is reduced to ClO3−\mathrm{ClO_3^-}. c) ClO−\mathrm{ClO^-} is oxidized to ClO3−\mathrm{ClO_3^-}, and ClO−\mathrm{ClO^-} is reduced to Cl−\mathrm{Cl^-}. d) ClO−\mathrm{ClO^-} is reduced to ClO3−\mathrm{ClO_3^-}, and ClO3−\mathrm{ClO_3^-} is oxidized to Cl−\mathrm{Cl^-}.
