Oxidising power of chlorine in aqueous solution can be determined by the parameters indicated below: <br>
12Cl2(g)12ΔdissH−→Cl(g)ΔegH−→Cl−(g)ΔhydH−→Cl−(aq) <br>
The energy involved in the conversion of 12Cl2(g)toCl−(g) <br>
(using the data ,<br>
ΔdissHΘCl2=240KJmol−1 ,ΔegHΘCl=−349KJmol−1 , ΔhydHΘCl=−381KJmol−1)
