The reactions of Cl_(2) gas with cold dilute and hot concentrated NaOH in water give sodium salt of two (different) oxoacids of chlorine P and Q, respectively. The Cl_(2) gas reacts with SO_(2) gas, in presence of charcoal, to give a product R. R reacts with white phosphorus to give a compound S. On hydrolysis, S gives an oxoacid of phosphorus, T. P and Q, respectively, are the sodium salts of

The reactions of Cl_(2) gas with cold dilute and hot concentrated NaOH

1.	The reactions of Cl_(2) gas with cold dilute and hot concentrated NaOH in water give sodium salt of two (different) oxoacids of chlorine P and Q, respectively. The Cl_(2) gas reacts with SO_(2) gas, in presence of charcoal, to give a product R. R reacts with white phosphorus to give a compound S. On hydrolysis, S gives an oxoacid of phosphorus, T. P and Q, respectively, are the sodium salts of
Answer» hypochlorus and chloric acids hypochlorus and chlorus acids chloric and PERCHLORIC acids chloric and hypochlorus acid Solution :`{:(Cl_(2)+2NaOH overset("Cold")rarr NACL + UNDERSET("Sod. hypochlorite (P)")(NaClO)),(3Cl_(2)+6NaOh overset("Hot")rarr 5 NaCl + underset("Sod. CHLORATE (Q)")(NaClO_(3))+3H(2)O):}` Thus, NaClO (P) and `NaClO_(3)` (Q) are the SODIUM salts of hypochlorus and chloric acid respectively and hence option (a) is coreect.
