Which of the following is observed on exposure of chlorine water to sunlight? i. Colurless and odourless gas is evolved ii. The resulting solution is neutral iii. The gas evolved is oxygen iv. The resulting solution is acidic v. The gas evolved is chlorine vi. the gas evolved has no effect on litmus
A. ii, iii & vi B. i, ii & v C. i, iii, iv & vi D. ii and v only
Correct Answer: C
Explanation
\(\underset{2\left( Cl _{2(p)}\right.}{ }+ H _{2} O _{(9)} \rightarrow HCl _{(p q)}+ HOCl _{(a q)}\) \(2 HOCl _{(a q)} \rightarrow HCl _{(a q)}+ O _{2}\)rom the equations above, it can be deduced that; (i) the gas released is \(O _{2}\)
