Question

Bleaching powder contains salt of an oxoacid as one of its component. The anhydride of that oxoacid is :

Answer 1

cl2o is the anhydride of that oxoacid.

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer to this question is Cl2O6.

Explanation:

Given - Bleaching powder contains a salt of an oxoacid as one of its components.

To Find -  The anhydride of that oxoacid is :

The anhydride of that oxoacid is Cl2O6.

Bleaching is a bleaching agent for unclean garments, as well as a disinfectant for water and a strong oxidizing agent. Iodometry is used to determine the amount of Cl in the powder. The oxoacid of bleaching powder is CaOCl2, which can alternatively be written as Ca(OCl)Cl, where OCl is the hypochlorite ion, which is the anion of HOCl, and Ca(OCl)Cl is the oxoacid of bleaching powder. Because removing the water molecule is not a good idea, the equation should be 2HOClH2O=Cl2O.
