Question

What are ALL full chemical reactions that ensue for each of the following disinfectants (may be more than one for each): (5 points) Cl2 (g) at pH 9

Answer 1

The reactions that might ensue are

Cl
`_(2)`(g) + H
`_(2)`O ---------- > HOCl + HCl

HOCl -------- >
`H^+`(aq) + O
`CI^-`(aq)

Cl2(g) +
`OH^-`(aq) ----- > O
`CI^-`(aq) + HCl

Step-by-step explanation:

The Disinfectant Given is

CI2 (g) at PH 9

Determine the chemical reactions that might ensue

due to the High concentration of
`H^(+) (aq)` the formation of
`OCI^-`(aq) will be better and this will decrease the power of the disinfectant.

Hence the chemical reactions that might ensue can be represented below as :

Cl
`_(2)`(g) + H
`_(2)`O ---------- > HOCl + HCl

HOCl -------- >
`H^+`(aq) + O
`CI^-`(aq)

Cl2(g) +
`OH^-`(aq) ----- > O
`CI^-`(aq) + HCl
