Q.
Oxidising power of chlorine in aqueous solution can be determined by the parameters indicated below
$\frac{1}{2}\left(C l\right)_{2}\left(g\right)\overset{\frac{1}{2} \Delta _{d i s s^{H ^\circ }}^{ \, }}{ \rightarrow }Cl\left(g\right)\overset{\Delta _{E A \left( \, \right)^{H ^\circ }}^{ \, }}{ \rightarrow }\left(C l\right)^{-}\left(g\right)\overset{\Delta _{h y d \left( \, \right)^{H ^\circ }}^{ \, }}{ \rightarrow }\left(C l\right)^{-}\left(\right.aq\left.\right)$
The energy involved in the conversion of $\frac{1}{2}Cl_{2}\left(\right.g\left.\right)$ to $\left(C l\right)^{-}\left(\right.aq\left.\right)$ (Using the data)
$\Delta _{d i s s^{H ^\circ } C l_{2}}^{ \, }=240 \, kJ \, mol^{- 1}$
$\Delta _{E A^{H ^\circ } C l_{ \, }}^{ \, }=-349 \, kJ \, mol^{- 1}$
$\Delta _{h y d \, ^{H ^\circ }}^{ \, }Cl=-381 \, kJ \, mol^{- 1}$ will be
