A compound X on electrolysis in aqueous solution produces a strong base Y along with two other gases A and B.B is used in the manufacture of bleaching powder . identify X,Y,A and B.write the chemical equation involved.

Electrolysis of aqueous solution of NaCl gives a base NaOH and two differnt gasesChlorine and hydrogen, where Chlorine is used in the bleaching powder. NaCl(aq)  Na+ + Cl-X     Anode : 2 Cl-  Cl2 + 2 e-                                 BAt cathode : H2O  H+ + OH-2 H+ + 2e-  H2                             ANa+ + OH-  NaOH                                 YX- NaClY - NaOHA - HydrogenB - Chlorine
