Chlorine bleaches the organic compound by oxidation process.
It reacts first in aqueous solution giving nascent oxygen then the nascent oxygen oxidize organic compound making it colourless.
i.e
H2O + cl2 gives 2Hcl + O (nascent oxygen)
Organic compound + O (nascent oxygen) gives colourless organic compound

Which gas bleaches the color of flower?
chlorine gas bleaches the colour of flower,by CARL WILHELM SCHEELE, who discovered chlorine
What is the function of alkali in bleach?
Bleaches mostly contain chlorine which on reaction with water form hydrochloric acid, alkali is used to neutralized the solution.
What evidence of chemical reaction when bleaching a stain?
For most kinds of bleach, it is Redox (Oxi-Reduction). Traditional bleach is mainly composed of molecules with chlorine, which is what bleaches the stains. When something is bleached it is because the chlorine is reacting with the substance in the stain. Since the chlorine ions are Cl-, they have extra electrons and donate them to the molecules of the stain: this is reduction of the molecules of the stain. The chlorine loses an electron exactly because it donated it to that molecule: this is oxidation of the chlorine ions. Hence Oxidation-Reduction, Oxi-Reduction, Redox.
How does bleaching powder eradicate microbes from water?
Bleach liberates chlorine and chlorine is a powerful oxidising agent. Oxidation of the structure of the microbe destroys/kills it.
Cl2 oxidation number?
Cl2 is the symbol of the diatomic neutral molecule of chlorine; the anion chloride is Cl-. The common valence of chlorine is -1.
Do all bleaches have chlorine?
No There are newer "Non-chlorine bleaches" with no chlorine
Which gas bleaches the color of flower?
chlorine gas bleaches the colour of flower,by CARL WILHELM SCHEELE, who discovered chlorine
What is 3 uses of chlorine?
Water purification, bleaches, and disinfectant
Does chlorine reacts with acid to form toxic chlorine gas?
If you mean chlorine bleach, then yeas. Particularly this happens in hypochlorite bleaches.
What is the oxidation state of chlorine in HCl?
The oxidation state is +1 for hydrogen and -1 for chlorine.
What are 3 uses of chlorine?
Cleaning swimming pools, cleaning drinking water and chlorine is used in bleaches as well.
How do you remove chlorine stain from a swim suite?
That is a bit hard to do because chlorine does not stain, it bleaches, in other words the colour of your swim suit is a stain. when strong chlorine gets on it bleaches it away so you would probably have to re die it. definitely easier to get a new pair.
What is the oxidation state of PCl5?
The oxidation no of phosphorus is +3 and that of chlorine is -1.
In which compound does chlorine have the highest oxidation number?
In per chloric acid HClO4, the oxidation number of chlorine is +7.
What is more likely oxidation state of Chlorine?
The most common oxidation state for chlorine is 1- (negative one).
Is -1 the oxidation number for chlorine?
-1 is found in chlorides. But chlorine can have other oxidation numbers up to +7 in its compounds.
What is the oxidation state of CI HCIO3?
The oxidation state of chlorine is 5.
