Correct answer is Option (A) Clear solution of Ca(OH)₂
Bleaching powder is calcium hypochlorite Ca(OCl₂)
Explanation:
- Bleaching powder is prepared by the action of chlorine gas on dry slaked lime
- Ca(OH)₂ + Cl→ Ca(OCl₂) +H₂O
- It is a yellowish powder with a strong smell of chlorine.
- It is insoluble in water but due to the presence of impurities, it never remains a clear solution.
- It is a strong oxidising agent and is used as a disinfectant mainly to purify potable water.
