RRB NTPC 2024 Undergraduate CBT 1 Question Paper (29-Aug-2025) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

Bleaching powder

The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. Bleaching powder.

Bleaching powder is formed when chlorine gas reacts with dry slaked lime, which is chemically known as calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)₂). This is an industrial method used for the production of bleaching powder.

The chemical reaction:

Ca(OH)+ Cl2 → CaOCl+ H2O

Here, CaOCl₂ is bleaching powder (calcium oxychloride), and water is released as a by-product.

Other options explained:

  • Calcium oxide: This is also known as quick lime, not produced in this reaction.

  • Calcium chloride: Formed when calcium compounds react with hydrochloric acid, not with chlorine gas.

  • Hydrochloric acid: This is HCl, not a product of this reaction.
