Solution

The correct option is D $C a O {C l}_{2}$
Bleaching powder has the molecular formula $C a O {C l}_{2}$
Bleaching powder is $C a (O C l)_{2} \cdot C a C l_{2} \cdot C a (O H)_{2} \cdot H_{2} O$
It is obtained by the action of $c h l o r i n e$ on $s l a k e d l i m e$
$3 C a (O H)_{2} + 2 C l_{2} b e l o w - -- \to 35^{o} C C a (O C l)_{2} \cdot C a C l_{2} \cdot C a (O H)_{2} \cdot H_{2} O + H_{2} O$
