• A. Sodium chloride
• B. Sodium hypochlorite
• C. Sodium chlorate
• D. All of these

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

All of these

Answer 2

$\underset{(\text{dil.})}{2NaOH} + Cl_{2}\overset{\quad\text{Cold}\quad}{\rightarrow}NaCl + \underset{\text{Sod. hypochlorite}}{NaClO + H_{2}O}$

$\underset{(\text{conc.})}{6NaOH} + 3Cl_{2}\overset{\quad\text{heat}\quad}{\rightarrow}5NaCl + \underset{\text{Sodium chlorate}}{NaClO_{3} + 3H_{2}O}$
