State the equ of NaOh in Cl- cold and dilute:
2NAOH+CL2-> NACL+NACLO+H20
State the equ of NaOh in Cl- HOT AND CONC:
3CL2+6NAOH-> 5NACL+ NACLO3+ 3H2O
What is formed in both r with NaOh sol?
Yellow and green gas dis to form colourless sol
Why does ox ability of halogens decrease down group?
B/c atomic no increases
Oxidising agent gains e and becomes reduced
Halogen atom gains e in outer en level to complete en level
