How many reactions?
How many possible chemical reactions are there when we chlorinate a solution?
Note: A reversible reaction is counted as reaction only.

There are 4 :
C l X 2 + H X 2 O H C l + H C l O
C a ( O H ) X 2 + 2 H C l C a C l X 2 + H X 2 O
C a ( O H ) X 2 + 2 H C l O C a ( C l O ) X 2 + 2 H X 2 O
C a ( O H ) X 2 + H C l + H C l O C a O C l X 2 + 2 H X 2 O
Additionally, chlorine gas can react with calcium hydroxide powder: C l X 2 + C a ( O H ) X 2 C a O C l X 2 + H X 2 O . But since the question is about the C a ( O H ) X 2 solution, we don't count this.
