Flask A contains MnO₂ to which is added concentrate ⟦...⟧ through a
thistle tube.
The Chlorine gas which is librated in flask A is passed through the
connecting tube to bottle B. This bottle contains water to absorb any
gaseous (HCl) which might escape mixed with the librated chlorine.
Chlorine gas then passes through a 2nd connecting tube to bottle C which
contains concentrated H₂SO₄ (to absorb moisture). The dry chlorine gas is
lastly collected by the downward displacement of air. Chlorine gas, unlike
oxygen and hydrogen, cannot be collected over water because it is soluble
in it.
87. PROPERTIES:
(a) Physical properties:-
1- It is a greenish yellow gas.
2- It has a strong irritating odour and when inhaled it attacks
the delicate membranes of the nose, thorat & lungs.
3- It is extremely poisonous.
4- It is about 2½ times as heavy as air.
5- It is somewhat soluble in water.
6- It is liquified easily by pressure alone at room temperature.
(b) Chemical properties:-
1- It is extremely active.
2- It combines directly with many elements forming chlorides:
a) It combines with hydrogen:
Cl₂ + H₂ ⎯⎯sun light⎯→ 2HCl
b) It combines with metals such as heated Sodium:
⟦...⟧
Cl₂ + 2Na ⎯⟦line⟧→ 2Na Cl
c) It combines with phosphorous or sulphur
5Cl₂ + 2P ⎯⟦line⟧→ 2P Cl5 Phosphorus Penta chloride
2Cl₂ + 2S ⎯⟦line⟧→ S₂ Cl₄ Sulphur chloride
3- It reacts with hydrocarbons (compounds of carbon & hydrogen),
replacing part or all of the hydrogen
CH₄ + 3Cl₂ ⎯⟦line⟧→ Ch Cl₃ + 3H Cl
Methane Chloroform
CH₄ + 4Cl₂ ⎯⟦line⟧→ C Cl₄ + 4HCl
Carbon tetrachloride
4- It acts as a bleaching agent in the presence of moisture.
This property is explained by the following equation:
Cl₂ + H₂O ⎯⟦line⟧→ 2HCl + O
The nascent oxygen which is thus liberated oxidizes the colouring
materials & bleaches it.
Chlorine is also used according to the same principle for killing
Bacteria in the process of the purification of water.
