Answer: The chemical name of bleaching powder is calcium oxychloride and the chemical formula is CaOCl_2

Explanation:

The chemical formula for slaked lime is calcium hydroxide.

Bleaching powder is a white colored compound which is formed by the reaction of slaked line with chlorine gas. This gas is released from the electrolysis of brine solution. The chemical formula for this compound is CaOCl_2

The chemical equation for the formation of bleaching powder follows:

Ca(OH)_2(s)+Cl_2(g)\rightarrow CaOCl_2(s)+H_2O(l)

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of slaked lime reacts with 1 mole of chlorine gas to produce 1 mole of bleaching powder (calcium oxychloride) and 1 mole of water.
