The given reaction is as below-

Cl₂  (g) +2OH^--  (aq)→ClO^-- (aq)+ Cl^-- (aq) + H₂O  (l)

In the given reaction, oxidation number  of Cl increases from 0 (in Cl₂) to +1 (in ClO^-) and decreases to -1 (in Cl^-). Therefore, Cl₂ is both oxidized to ClO^- and reduced to Cl^-. Since Cl^- ion cannot act as an oxidizing agent (because it cannot decrease its O.N. lower than -1), hence, Cl₂ bleaches substances due to oxidizing action of hypochlorite, ClO ion.
