👉 In organic chemistry, a chlorhydrate is a compound that has been reduced to a different form (usually an amide or a salt) by a reducing agent. Chlorides are often used as indicators of acidity in chemical analysis and as components in many chemical reactions. For example, the reaction between sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and chlorine gas (Cl2) produces the compound NaCl: \[ \ce{NaOH + Cl_2 -> NaCl} \] This is a simple
