X_2 is a greenish yellow gas with an offensive smell used in water purification. It partially dissolves in water to give a solution which turns blue litmus red. When X_2 is passed through NaBr solution, Br_2 is obtained. What are the products obtained when X_2 reacts with H_2O ? Write chemical equations.

Answer»

SOLUTION :`X_2` is chlorine which is a yellowish GREEN GAS. It DISSOLVES in water forming HCl and HClO
`Cl_2+ H_2O to HCl + HClO`
HCl turns blue litmus to RED .
`Cl_2 + 2NaBr to 2NaCl + Br_2`
`Cl_2 + H_2O to HCl + HClO`
