Question

what happens when chloride of lime reacts with sulphuric acid? write chemical equation involved

Answer 1

chloride of lime is bleaching powder,ie, caOcl2


2caOcl2+H2so4----》CaSo4+CaCl2+2HOCL

Answer 2

Answer : The chemical equation involved, $2CaOCl_2+H_2SO_4\rightarrow CaSO_4+CaCl_2+2HOCl$

Explanation :

The meaning of chloride of lime is, bleaching powder or calcium oxychloride and as we know that the bleaching powder or calcium oxychloride is an oxidizing agent.

When chloride of lime reacts with sulfuric acid to give calcium sulfate, calcium chloride and hypochlorous acid.

The balanced chemical equation involved will be,

$2CaOCl_2+H_2SO_4\rightarrow CaSO_4+CaCl_2+2HOCl$
