The quantity of chlorine released by a bleaching powder when treated with acid.
The oxidation state of chlorine in bleaching powder would be zero.
Bleaching powder is mostly chlorine so it smells like it. It has very strong bleaching (removing color) abilities and destroys most bacteria.

Usually it relates to hypochlorites content in the product. Available chlorine is the quantity of chlorine that can hypothetically be produced by reaction of bleaching powder with hydrochloric acid. Greater the available chlorine is - greater oxidation ability the bleaching powder has. For example, available chlorine 5% means that fixed amount of something can be oxidized by (100/5)X=20X grams of bleaching powder and the same can be done with only X grams of pure chlorine.
The quantity of chlorine released by a bleaching powder when treated with acid.
The oxidation state of chlorine in bleaching powder would be zero.
Here are some methods used for discovering how much chlorine is in bleaching powder: Penot's method and Bunsen and Wagner's method. http://chemistry.proteincrystallography.org/article179.html

When Bleaching Powder is treated with excess Dil. H2SO4, Cl2 is produced. CaOCl2 + H2SO4 ----> CaSO4 + H2O + Cl2 CaOCl2 + 2HCl --------> CaCl2 + H2O + Cl2 Chlorine gas produced in this way is known as available chlorine.
When carbon Di-oxide reacts with Bleaching powder it produces chlorine gas. That is why we do not use carbon Di-oxide for fighting the bleaching powder fire. A.K.Sharotri
On standing in the open air bleaching powder react with carbon dioxide produce chlorine gas. As a result the activity or bleaching property of bleaching powder is reduced. So it is kept in a closed container.
