Explain the bleaching action of Chlorine .

Explain the bleaching action of Cl_2 .

The bleaching action of chlorine is permanent, whereas the bleaching action and sulphur dioxide is temporary. In this context : (i) Give a reason, why chlorine is not used to bleach silk. (ii) State similarity in the use of sulphur dioxide and chlorine as bleaching agents. (iii) Explain the bleaching action of sulphur dioxide with the help of chemical equations. (iv) Why is bleaching by sulphur dioxide only temporary?

Explain that bleaching action of CL_2 is permanent, while that of SO_2 is temporary.

How does the bleaching action of chlorine differ from that of sulphur dioxide? Explain.

Statement-1 : Chlorine and sulphur dioxide both are bleaching agents. Statement-2 : The bleaching action of chlorine and sulphur dioxide is performed through the process of oxidation.
