Solution

Chlorine gas reacts with lime water to form bleaching powder which is used as a bleaching agent in the chemical industry.
Hence, X is chlorine gas and Y is bleaching powder with formula ${CaOCl}_{2}$ . The chemical equation of the reactions involved is:

${Ca(OH)}_{2} (a q)$ + ${Cl}_{2} (g)$ → ${CaOCl}_{2} (a q)$ + $H_{2} O (l)$
