Answer 2

Answer:

• The bleaching powder kept in air tight container loses its chemical reaction property and chlorine loses its functional capacity and moves out.

• This happens due to high temperature and hence the reaction stops. This activity happen irrespective of type of container like air tight and thermal stability.

• The bleaching powder by nature has its own capacity or shelf life to extent of period. The chemical formula for bleaching powder is calcium hypo-chloride.

• The carbon-dioxide in air of air tight container decomposes chloride forming the chlorine gas and calcium carbonate.
