The oxidizing power of chlorine in an aqueous solution can be determined by the following parameters:

\(\small{\frac{1}{2} \left(Cl\right)_{2} \left(g\right) \overset{\frac{1}{2} \left(\Delta\right)_{diss} H^{\Theta}}{\longrightarrow} Cl \left(g\right) \overset{\left(\Delta\right)_{eg} H^{\Theta}}{\longrightarrow} \left(Cl\right)^{-} \left(g\right) \overset{\left(\Delta\right)_{hyd} H^{\Theta}}{\longrightarrow} \left(Cl\right)^{-} \left(aq\right)}\)

The energy involved in the conversion of \({ 1 \over 2}Cl_2(g)\) to \(Cl^-\)(aq) will be:

The value \(|\Delta H| \) in kJ for the given reaction is: 
\(\frac{1}{2} C l_2(g) → C l^{-}(a q) \)
(Given: \(\Delta H_{\text {diss }} C l_2(g) → 2 C l(g) \quad 240 \mathrm{~kJ} \mathrm{mol}^{-1} \)
\(\Delta H_{eg} Cl(g) + e^- → Cl^-(g) -320~ \mathrm{ kJmol}^{-1}\\ \Delta H_{hydration} Cl^-(g) + aq → Cl^-(aq) -340~\mathrm{ kJmol}^{-1} ) \)
