The gas is Oxygen.
When Cl2 gas reacts with H2O, HCl and HClO are formed. HClO is too unstable, so when it is kept in open, it decomposes to give HCl and O2 gas.
Reaction is:
Cl2 + H2O ----> HCl + HClO

cl partially mixes with water.when presence of sunlight it will decompose to give hcl and the gas is oxygen
