Chlorine reacts with water in the presence of sunlight to liberate______

Explanation

Solution

As we know that air is the one of the important things in our life. In the world, without air nothing is surveyed. For human beings, breathing purpose air is the important thing for inhaling and exhaling. For human respiration, oxygen is used for inhalation of breathing and carbon dioxide is exhaled gas. This inhale and exhale gas are important for human lifestyle to survey in the world. Each and every gas has unique properties and unique nature in the atmosphere. One gas is not able to replace another gas in the environment.

Complete answer:
We have to know that the chlorine reacts with water in the presence of sunlight to liberate oxygen gas.
Chlorine reacts with water in the presence of sunlight to give the product of hydrochloric acid and hypoechoic acid. These hydrochloric acid and hypoechoic acid give nascent oxygen gas as the main product. The molecular oxygen will further react with these nascent oxygen.
Cl2+H2OHClO+HClC{l_2} + {H_2}O \to HClO + HCl
HClO+HCl2HCl+[O]HClO + HCl \to 2HCl + \left[ O \right]
[O]+[O]O2\left[ O \right] + \left[ O \right] \to {O_2}
According to the above discussion and reaction, we conclude chlorine reacts with water in the presence of sunlight to liberate oxygen gas.

Note:
We need to remember that the chemical properties of the gas depend on the mixture of gases. All the gases are not helpful for the human body. Some gases are poisonous for the human body. It leads to death also. For example, wrong inhalation of carbon dioxide in the human body leads to death. Some cyanide gases and mono and dioxide gases also lead to human death in the world. In plants during the day time they inhale carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and exhale oxygen, but in night time they inhale oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide. The air is nothing but a mixture of the gases. The mixture of the gas in the air are major in the form of nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide and other gases. In the atmosphere approximately 78%78\% of nitrogen, 21%21\% of oxygen and remaining 1%1\% of other gases in the world.
