Answer:-

Chlorine gas is passed through a solution of flower​ to

decolourise the flower

Step-by-step explanation:

Chlorine is used as a bleaching agent because of its oxidising nature.


Cl_(2)+H_(2)O\rightarrow HCl +HOCl


HOCl\rightarrow H_(2)+O

This nascent "O" is highly reactive in nature and bleaches the substance that comes into its contact.

when flowers are passed through the chlorine solution , it oxidises the solution and removes the colour from the flower.

This property also made its use as water-disinfectant reagent.

Chlorination is done to make the water useful for drinking

It kills the harmful bacteria present in the water.
