Question

Explain chlorine gas is passed through a solution of flower​

Answer 1

Answer:-

Chlorine gas is passed through a solution of flower​ to

decolourise the flower

Explanation:

Chlorine is used as a bleaching agent because of its oxidising nature.

$Cl_{2}+H_{2}O\rightarrow HCl +HOCl$

$HOCl\rightarrow H_{2}+O$

This nascent "O" is highly reactive in nature and bleaches the substance that comes into its contact.

when flowers are passed through the chlorine solution , it oxidises the solution and removes the colour from the flower.

This property also made its use as water-disinfectant reagent.

Chlorination is done to make the water useful for drinking

It kills the harmful bacteria present in the water.
