What are the properties and uses of bleaching powder
Answered by admin @
It is produced by the action of Chlorine on dry slaked lime. It is represented as CaOCl2, though the actual composition is quite complex.
Ca(OH)2 + Cl2 → CaOCl2 + H2O
On standing for a longer time, it undergoes auto oxidation due to which bleaching action decreases.
Uses of Bleaching Powder:-
(i) It is used for bleaching cotton and linen textile industry, for bleaching wood pulp in paper industry and for washed clothes in laundry.
(ii) It is also used as a disinfectant for water to make it germ free.
(iii) It is used as an oxidizing agent in many chemical industries.
hope it helps you
