Question

A solution containing hydroxide ions will react with chlorine gas to produce chloride ions, gaseous oxygen, and water.

Cl2(g) + 2e- → 2Cl-(aq)

O2(g) + 2H2O(l) + 4e- → 4OH-(aq)



Write a balanced net ionic equation for this reaction.


I'm very lost honestly, thank you for your help
Why confused. The problem tells you to take the Cl2 reactin as written and use the other other one reversed (because you want to add OH^- to it) and add them together. Keep the electrons equal by multiplying the 2e x 2 and the 4e by 1
