Disproportionation
name for a reaction where an element is simultaneously oxidised and reduced
1 of 18
Chlorine and water?
Cl2(g)+H2O(l)=HClO(aq)+HCl(aq)
2 of 18
What is happening?
Chlorine is both simultaneously oxidising and reducing
3 of 18
What happens if universal indicator is added to solution?
First turn red due to acidity of both reaction products. will then turn colourless as the HClO bleaches the colour

Reaction of chlorine with water in sunlight?
If the chlorine's bubbled through water in presence of bright sunlight a different reaction occurs- 2Cl2+2H2O=4H+ +4Cl-+O2
5 of 18
When does same reaction occur?
To equilibrium mixture of chlorine water- greenish colour of chlorine water fades as Cl2 react and a colourless gas CO2 is produced
6 of 18
What is the greenish colour of these solutions due to?
Cl2

What is Chlorine used in
Water treatment to kill bacteria- used to treat drinking water and the water in swimming pools
8 of 18
Why is it used?
The benefits to health of water treatment by chlorine outweighs its toxic effect

What will Cl2 ( and Br2 and I2) in aqueous solution react with? What will happen?
Cold sodium hydroxide. Colour os halogen solution will fade to colourless
10 of 18
eqn?
Cl2(aq)+2NaOH(aq)=NaCl(aq)+NaClO(aq)+H2O(l)
11 of 18
What is the mixture of NaCl and NaClO used as? what for?
Bleach to disinfect/kill bacteria

What are the various forms of sulphur and chlorine compounds where oxygen is combined called?
Sulphates and Chlorates
13 of 18
