Group 17 — practice question

$Z$ is a compound made from sodium, chlorine and oxygen. It has $45.1\%$ oxygen by mass. $Z$ is made by reacting sodium hydroxide with chlorine. Which row gives the reaction conditions and the oxidation state of chlorine in $Z$?

  • Acold dilute $\text{NaOH}$, oxidation state of $\text{Cl}$ in $Z$ = $+1$
  • Bcold dilute $\text{NaOH}$, oxidation state of $\text{Cl}$ in $Z$ = $+5$
  • Chot concentrated $\text{NaOH}$, oxidation state of $\text{Cl}$ in $Z$ = $+1$
  • Dhot concentrated $\text{NaOH}$, oxidation state of $\text{Cl}$ in $Z$ = $+5$
