Answer:
The reactions that might ensue are
Cl[tex]_{2}[/tex](g) + H[tex]_{2}[/tex]O ---------- > HOCl + HCl
HOCl -------- > [tex]H^+[/tex](aq) + O[tex]CI^-[/tex](aq)
Cl2(g) + [tex]OH^-[/tex](aq) ----- > O[tex]CI^-[/tex](aq) + HCl
Explanation:
The Disinfectant Given is
CI2 (g) at PH 9
Determine the chemical reactions that might ensue
due to the High concentration of [tex]H^{+} (aq)[/tex] the formation of [tex]OCI^-[/tex](aq) will be better and this will decrease the power of the disinfectant.
Hence the chemical reactions that might ensue can be represented below as :
Cl[tex]_{2}[/tex](g) + H[tex]_{2}[/tex]O ---------- > HOCl + HCl
HOCl -------- > [tex]H^+[/tex](aq) + O[tex]CI^-[/tex](aq)
Cl2(g) + [tex]OH^-[/tex](aq) ----- > O[tex]CI^-[/tex](aq) + HCl
