During electrolysis of brine, a gas ‘G’ is liberated at anode. When this gas ‘G’ is passed through slaked lime, a compound ‘C’ is formed, which is used for disinfecting drinking water.(i) Write formula of ‘G’ and ‘C’.(ii) State the chemical equation involved.(iii) What is common name of compound ‘C’? Give its chemical name.
(i) The formula of ‘G’ and ‘C’ are,
G = Cl2
C = CaOCl2
(ii) The chemical equation involved is given below:
$Ca(OH)_2 + Cl_2 → CaOCl_2 + H_2O$
(iii) The common name of compound C is Bleaching Powder. Its chemical name is Calcium Oxychloride.
