PERIOD1: PREPARATION OF CHLORINE (LABORATORY AND INDUSTRIAL)
In the laboratory, chlorine is prepared by the oxidation of concentrated hydrochloric acid with manganese (IV) oxide. The mixture is heated to obtain a greenish-yellow gas (chlorine).
MnO2(s) + 4HCl (aq) → MnCl2(aq) + 2H2O + Cl2
Chlorine is prepared industrially by the electrolysis of brine and molten metallic chlorides

Describe the laboratory preparation of chlorine
PERIOD 2: PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF CHLORINE
The chemical properties of chlorine have been discussed under the general properties of halogens. Let’s discuss the oxidizing properties of chlorine.
Cl2 + H2S → 2HCl + S
Chlorine bleaches by oxidation. When chlorine dissolves in water, it forms hydrochloric acid and oxochlorate (i) acid (chlorine water).
Cl2 + H2O → HCl + HOCl
In bleaching oxochlorate (i) acid gives out oxygen atom. The oxygen atom then bleach the material by oxidation. This bleaching action is permanent because the material cannot be re-oxidize by atmospheric oxygen.

PERIOD 3: HYDROGEN CHLORIDE GAS PREPARATION, PROPERTIES AND USES.
Hydrogen chloride is prepared in the laboratory by the action of concentrated tetraoxosuphate (vi) acid on sodium chloride. The gas is dried by passing it through concentrated tetraoxosulphate (vi) acid and collected by downward displacement of air.
NaCl(s) + H2SO4(aq) → Na2SO4(aq) + HCl(g).
Dissolution of hydrogen chloride in water gives hydrochloric acid.
PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF HYDROGEN CHLORIDE
CHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF HYDROGEN CHLORIDE
Zn(s) + 2HCl(g) → ZnCl2(s) + H2(g)
HCl(g) + NH3(g) → NH4Cl(s)
2HCl(aq) + Na2CO3(s) → 2NaCl(aq) + H2O(l) + CO2(g)
