Q. When chlorine water is exposed to sunlight, $O_{2}$ is liberated. Hence

Hydrogen has little affinity to $O_{2}$

Hydrogen has more affinity to $O_{2}$

Hydrogen has more affinity to $C l_{2}$

It is a reducing agent

$Exposed to air H_{2} O + C l_{2} \to + H Cl + H ClO$
$H ClO \to H Cl + [O]$ or $2 H ClO \to 2 H Cl + O_{2}$

Q. When chlorine water is exposed to sunlight, O2​ is liberated. Hence

Hydrogen has little affinity to O2​

Hydrogen has more affinity to O2​

Hydrogen has more affinity to Cl2​
