The reaction, $3{\mathrm{ClO}}^{-}\to {\mathrm{ClO}}_3^{-}+2{\mathrm{Cl}}^{-}$ occurs in two steps:

i. $2{\mathrm{ClO}}^{-}\to {\mathrm{ClO}}_2^{-}+{\mathrm{Cl}}^{-}$

ii. ${\mathrm{ClO}}_2^{-}+{\mathrm{ClO}}^{-}\to {\mathrm{ClO}}_3^{-}+{\mathrm{Cl}}^{-}$,

the reaction intermediate is:

A. ${\mathrm{Cl}}^{-}$

B. ${\mathrm{ClO}}_2^{-}$

C. ${\mathrm{ClO}}_3^{-}$

D. ${\mathrm{ClO}}^{-}$
