What are interhalogen compounds? Write the chemical reaction when chlorine reacts with dry slaked lime.
Show Hint
Solution and Explanation
Interhalogen compounds are molecules formed by the combination of two different halogens.
These compounds have the general formula \( AB_x \), where \( x = 1, 3, 5, 7 \).
The reaction of chlorine with dry slaked lime \( \text{Ca(OH)}_2 \) produces bleaching powder: \[ \text{Ca(OH)}_2 + Cl_2 \rightarrow \text{CaOCl}_2 + H_2O \]
