`SO_(2)` and `Cl_(2)` both are used as bleaching agent. What factors cause bleaching ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`SO_(2)+2H_(2)O to H_(2)SO_(4)+2H`
`Cl_(2)+H_(2)O to 2HCl+O`
Bleaching action of `SO_(2)` is due to `H` (that causes reduction) and that of `Cl_(2)` is due to `O` (that cause oxidation)
