Question

What is the percentage of chlorine available in the bleaching powder?

  1. 50
  2. 45
  3. 43.5
  4. 40

hintHint:

The chemical formula of bleaching powder is Ca(OCl)2.

The correct answer is: 43.5


    The chemical formula of bleaching powder is Ca(OCl)2.
    Molecular mass of bleaching powder = (40 + 32 + 71)g = 143g. Atomic mass of calcium, oxygen, chlorine are 40g, 16g, 35.5 respectively.
    The percentage of chlorine available in the bleaching powder = 71divided by143 = 49.65%
