3. Chlorine gas has a choking smell. (Don’t smell chlorine gas because it is poisonous.)

4. sodium chloride solution / concentrated sodium chloride solution

5. hypochlorite ion / chlorate(I) ion

6. The fume cupboard remove the chlorine gas because it is poisonous.

7. A saturated solution is a solution containing the maximum amount of the solute at a given temperature.

8. Cl2(aq) + H2O(l) = H^+(aq) + Cl^-(aq) + HOCl(aq)

9. water molecule, chlorine molecule, hydrogen ion, chloride ion, hypochlorous acid (chloric(I) acid) molecules, hypochlorite ion (chlorate(I) ion)

10. The blue litmus paper changes to red, and then white.
