NEET Chemistry: Chemical Industries questions with solutions

Q1. The given figure shows the plant for the formation of an important compound \( \mathbf{X} \) Identify \( X \)

1. Washing soda
2. Common salt
3. Baking powder
4. Bleaching powder

Answer: Bleaching powder

Bleaching powder is produced industrially by passing chlorine over dry slaked lime, so a plant diagram for its manufacture points to that compound. The other options are either mined, purified, or mixed from simpler ingredients rather than made in this specific chlorination setup.
