Options:
  • A The $\mathrm{pH}$ of resultant solution becomes 8.0
  • B Hydrogen gas is liberated from resultant solution
  • C The pH of resultant solution becomes less than 6.0 and oxygen gas is liberated
  • D $\mathrm{Cl}_2 \mathrm{O}$ is formed in the resultant solution

The correct answer is: The pH of resultant solution becomes less than 6.0 and oxygen gas is liberated
$\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}_2+\mathrm{Cl}_2 \longrightarrow 2 \mathrm{HCl}+\mathrm{O}_2$
$\mathrm{HCl}$ is formed by the reduction of chlorine by $\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}_2$, hence $\mathrm{pH}$ further decreases.
