The white powder used for disinfecting water is bleaching powder. 
1) Its chemical name is calcium oxychloride (CaOCl2). 
2) Bleaching powder is prepared by the action of chlorine on dry slaked lime [Ca(OH)2]
Ca(OH)2 + Cl2 ---->CaOCl2+ H2O 
3) When exposed to air, bleaching powder reacts with carbon dioxide in the air and releases chlorine gas.
