Q8 / 160 · AP EAMCET 2020 (18 Sep Shift 2) · Chemistry

Identify the products formed when chlorine reacts with cold and dilute sodium hydroxide solution.

  • A
    \(\mathrm{NaCl}, \mathrm{NaClO}_3, \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}\)
  • B
    \(\mathrm{NaCl}, \mathrm{NaClO}_4, \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}\)
  • Correct answer
    C
    \(\mathrm{NaCl}, \mathrm{NaOCl}, \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}\)
  • D
    \(\mathrm{NaCl}, \mathrm{HCl}, \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}\)

Solution

\(\mathrm{Cl}_2+\underset{\text { Cold,dilute }}{2 \mathrm{NaOH} \longrightarrow} \underset{\substack{\text { Sodium } \\ \text { chloridc }}}{\mathrm{NaCl}}+\underset{\begin{array}{l}\text { Sodium } \\ \text { hypochloritc }\end{array}}{\mathrm{NaOCl}}+\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}\)

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
