Options
- AB r 2 , K B r O 3
- BC l 2 , K C l O 3
- CI 2 , N a I O 3
- DC l 2 , N a C l O 3
Correct answer
B. C l 2 , K C l O 3
Step-by-step solution
The gas is Cl2 and the halate used in fire works and safety matches is K C l O 3 3 C l 2 g r e e n i s h y e l l o w g a s + 6 K O H → K C l O 3 p o t . c h l o r a t e ( H a l a t e ) + 5 K C l + 3 H 2 O As bromine is reddish liquid and I 2 is violet solid so they are ignored here.
