The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze the reaction of chlorine gas (\(Cl_2\)) with slaked lime (calcium hydroxide, \(Ca(OH)_2\)) and identify the compound formed, as well as its effect on red litmus paper. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Reactants**: - The reactants in this reaction are chlorine gas (\(Cl_2\)) and slaked lime (calcium hydroxide, \(Ca(OH)_2\)). 2. **Write the Reaction**: - When chlorine reacts with slaked lime, the reaction can be represented as: \[ Cl_2 + Ca(OH)_2 \rightarrow Ca(OCl)_2 + H_2O \] - Here, \(Ca(OCl)_2\) is calcium hypochlorite, commonly known as bleaching powder. 3. **Identify the Product**: - The product formed from the reaction is calcium hypochlorite (\(Ca(OCl)_2\)), which is referred to as bleaching powder. 4. **Effect on Litmus Paper**: - Bleaching powder has strong oxidizing properties and can decolorize substances. When it comes into contact with red litmus paper, it will bleach the dye, turning the red litmus paper to white. 5. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, the compound \(X\) formed from the reaction of chlorine with slaked lime turns red litmus paper to white. ### Final Answer: The correct option is **white color**. ---
