A gas x reacts with lime water and forms compound y which is used as a bleaching agent in chemical industry. Identify x and y . Give the chemical equation of the reaction involved.
Answers
Answer:
X=Chlorine gas(Cl2)
Y=Calcium Oxychloride{Ca(OCl)2}
Explanation:
Chlorine gas on reacting with lime water form Calcium Oxychloride(bleaching powder), Calcium Chloride and water.
Here is the equation:
2Ca(OH)2+2Cl2=>Ca(OCl)2+CaCl2+2H2O

A gas ‘X’ reacts with lime water and forms a compound ‘Y’ which is used as a bleaching agent in chemical industry. Identify ‘X’ and ‘Y\ Give the chemical equation of the reactions involved.
A gas X reacts with lime water and forms a compound Y which is used as bleaching agent in the chemical industry.
X =》Cl2
Y =》Ca(OH)2.
Chlorine gas react with lime water to form Calcium Oxychloride that is bleaching powder.
2Ca(OH)2 + 2Cl2 =》 Ca(OCl)2 + CaCl2 + 2H2O.
