• B. 2 NaCl (aq) + 2 H2O (1)→2 NaOH (aq) + Cl2 (g) + H2 (g)
• C. Ca(OH)2 + Cl2→ CaOCl2+H2O
• D. NaHCO3 + H+ CO2 + H2O + Sodium s ) + Cl2(g) + H2 (g) Sodium salt of acid

Answer 1

Answer:

C. Ca(OH)2 + Cl2→ CaOCl2+H2O

• The correct reaction for preparing bleaching powder is :

• Ca(OH)2 + Cl2 → CaOCl2 + H2O.
