Uses & Reactions of Chlorine (AQA A-Level Chemistry): Flashcards

A reaction where an element is both oxidised and reduced

$\text{Cl}_2 + \text{H}_2\text{O} \rightleftharpoons \text{HClO} + \text{HCl}$

$0$ to $+1$ (oxidised)

$0$ to $-1$ (reduced)

Kill bacteria (water purification)

$\text{NaCl} + \text{NaClO} + \text{H}_2\text{O}$

Sodium chlorate(I) ($\text{NaClO}$)

$2\text{Cl}_2 + 2\text{H}_2\text{O} \to 4\text{HCl} + \text{O}_2$

Green gas forms colourless solution
