on large bleaching poweder can be prepare on two methods

Answer 2

It is manufactured by the action of chlorine on dry slaked lime, Ca(OH)2 at 40oC.

This is the Odling view about its formation. There is another view proposed by Clifford according to which bleaching powder is a mixture of calcium hypochlorite and basic calcium chloride.

Answer 3

Bleaching powder is prepared by reacting chlorine gas with dry slaked lime (calcium hydroxide). The chemical equation for the reaction is: 2 Cl2 + 2 Ca(OH)2 → Ca(OCl)2 + CaCl2 + 2 H2O. This process is carried out in special chambers designed to contain and control the chlorine gas.
