The pH of a solution of `H_(2)O_(2)` is 6.0. Some chlorine gas is bubbled into this solution. Which of the following is correct ?

Options

A. The pH of the resulting solution becomes 8
B. Hydrogen gas is liberated from the resultant solution.
C. The pH of the resultant solution becomes less than 6.0 and oxygent gas is liberated
D. `Cl_(2)O` is formed in the resultant solution

Answer

C

Explanation

`{:(,H_(2)O_(2),rarr,H_(2)O,+,O),(Cl_(2)+,H_(2)O+O,rarr,2HCl,+,O_(2)):}`
`ul (bar(Cl_(2)+H_(2)O_(2)rarr 2HCl +O_(2)))`
Due to the formation of stronga cid HCl, the pH of the solution will decrease along with the formation of `O_(2)` gas
