    A greenish yellow gas reacts with alkali metal hydroxide to form a halate which can be used in fire works and safety matches. The gas and halate respectively are

    A)  \[B{{r}_{2}},KBr{{O}_{3}}\]                         

    B)  \[C{{l}_{2}},KCl{{O}_{3}}\]

    C)  \[{{I}_{2}},NaI{{O}_{3}}\]            

    D)  \[C{{l}_{2}},NaCl{{O}_{3}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                    A halate will be formed from halogen and the greenish yellow gas is\[C{{l}_{2}}\]. The halate which is used in fire works and safety match is\[KCl{{O}_{3}}\]. The reaction involved is \[\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  Greenish \\  yellow\text{ }gas \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{3C{{l}_{2}}}}\,+6KOH\xrightarrow[{}]{{}}\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,Halate \\  (Potassium\text{ }charred) \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{KCl{{O}_{3}}}}\,+5KCl+3{{H}_{2}}O\]
