Answer:
hloo,irfan ....I can help uuuu
Explanation:
chlorine,bleaches by the process
of oxidation.
It needs moisture for bleaching action...
chlorine react with water to form hydrochloric acid and hypochlorous acid.
Cl2 + H2O-------->HCl+HClO
Hypochlorous acid is unstable,and it
easily dissociates to form nascent oxygen....
HClO--------->HCl+[O]
This nascent oxygen react with coloured matter to make it colourless..
coloured matter+[O]----->colourless matter +H2O..
Thus chlorine has bleaching action only in presence of water....so,it is an temporary reaction...
Hope it's may help uuu..
Thank uuu...
