Answer 2

Answer: The correct answer is dry slaked lime.

Explanation:

Bleaching powder is defined as the powder which is formed when chlorine gas is passed over dry slaked lime.

The chemical equation for the formation of bleaching powder follows:

$Ca(OH)_2(aq.)+Cl_2(g)\rightarrow CaOCl_2(aq.)+H_2O(l)$

By stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of dry slaked lime reacts with 1 mole of chlorine gas to produce 1 mole of bleaching powder and 1 mole of water.

This reaction is considered as double displacement reaction.
