is chlorine an acidic gas?​

Answer 1

is chlorine an acidic gas?

Chlorine gas bleached the litmus paper. This is because of presence of hypochlorite ions. So, when chlorine (in any form) is added to water, a weak acid called Hypochlorousacid is produced. It is this acid, not the chlorine, which gives water its ability to oxidize and disinfect.

Answer 2

No, chlorine isn't acidic gas but when chlorine is added in water then weak acid called hypochlorouacid is formed.
