20PRACTICE PROBLEM
The reaction of chlorine gas (Cl2) with a slurry of calcium hydroxide ((Ca(OH)2) produces calcium oxychloride (). The reaction takes place according the following chemical equation:
Ca(OH)2(s) + Cl2(g) ⇌ Ca(OCl)2(aq) + H2O(l)
Write an expression for the equilibrium constant (Kc) for this reaction.
