In the manufacture of sodium hydroxide , hydrogen gas and chlorine gas (X) are formed as by - products . When chlorine gas (X) reacts with lime water , if form calcium oxychloride (bleaching powder ) . Y The reactions are
`2NaCl(aq)+2H_(2)O(l) rarr2NaOH(aq)+Cl_(2)(g)+H_(2)(g)`
`X-Cl_(2)` (Chlorine gas)
`underset("Lime water")(Ca(OH)_(2))(s)+Cl_(2)(g)rarrCaOCl_(2)(s)+H_(2)O(l)`
Y - Calcium oxychloride (bleaching powder)
