Chemistry --- Chlorine and hypochlorite

2008-08-21 6:44 am
Consider the following equation:
Cl2 (g) + 2OH- (aq.) -----------> Cl- (aq.) + OCl- (aq.) + H2O (l) --------- 1

OCl- (aq.) + H2O (l) -----------> OH- (aq.) + HOCl (aq.) ------------------- 2

By subtitution,
Sub 2 into 1:

Cl2 (g) + 2OH- (aq.) ----------> Cl- (aq.) + OH- (aq.) + HOCl (aq.)

Can the equation of bleaching solution be written as the above equation?

The two equations represent two independent reactions.

Cl2(g) + 2OH-(aq) → Cl-(aq) + OCl-(aq) + H2O(l) ------ 1
The above equation shows the reaction between chlorine gas and an

OCl-(aq) + H2O (l) → OH-(aq) + HOCl (aq.) ------ 2
The above equation shows the reaction of the hydrolysis of OCl-(aq) ion in a neutral solution.

Since the two reactions are independent, it is thus meaningless to combine these two equations by means of any method.
