Q. In the presence of cobalt chloride, bleaching powder decomposes to form
A) $CaCO_{3}\ and\ O_{3}$
B) $ClO_{2}\ and\ CaO$
C) $Cl_{2}O\ and\ CaO$
D) $CaCl_{2}\ and\ O_{2}$
Explanation
(d)
$2CaOCl_{2}\overset{\ \ \ \ \ CoCl_{2}\ \ \ \ }{\rightarrow}2CaCl_{2} + O_{2}$
In presence of $CoCl_{2}$ (which act as catalyst) bleaching powder gives out oxygen.
