Solution

The correct option is C 1.75 mole
Given reactions are:
Cl2+2NaOHNaCl+NaClO+H2O3NaClO2NaCl+NaClO34NaClO3NaCl+3NaClO4
1 mole of Cl2 reacts with 2 moles of NaOH to produce 1 mole of NaCl and 1 mole of NaClO.
Again, 3 moles of NaClO gives 2 moles NaCl and 1 mole NaClO3.
So 1 mole of NaClO gives 23 moles NaCl and 13 mole NaClO3.
Again 4 moles of NaClO3 gives 1 mole NaCl.
So 13 moles of NaClO3 gives 112 mole NaCl.
So total NaCl produced
=1+23+112=12+8+112=213=1.75
