    Bleaching of a fabric cloth is done using A and excess of chlorine is removed using B. A and B are

    A) \[CaOC{{l}_{2}}\], \[N{{a}_{2}}S{{O}_{3}}\]

    B) \[N{{a}_{2}}S{{O}_{3}}\],\[CaOC{{l}_{2}}\]

    C) \[CaC{{l}_{2}}\], \[N{{a}_{2}}{{S}_{2}}{{O}_{3}}\]  

    D) \[CaOC{{l}_{2}}\], \[N{{a}_{2}}{{S}_{2}}{{O}_{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [d] \[CaOC{{l}_{2}}\] acts as bleaching agent while \[N{{a}_{2}}{{S}_{2}}{{O}_{3}}\] acts as antichlor according to the following reaction: \[CaOC{{l}_{2}}+{{H}_{2}}O\to Ca{{(OH)}_{2}}+C{{l}_{2}}\] \[N{{a}_{2}}{{S}_{2}}{{O}_{3}}+4C{{l}_{2}}+5{{H}_{2}}O\to 2NaHS{{O}_{4}}+8HCl\]
