CAS 14034-79-8
:Hypofluorous acid
Description:
Hypofluorous acid, with the CAS number 14034-79-8, is a weak acid characterized by its chemical formula HOF. It is an oxoacid of fluorine, where the central atom is fluorine bonded to a hydroxyl group (–OH) and a double bond to an oxygen atom. Hypofluorous acid is typically encountered in aqueous solution and is known for its instability, which makes it challenging to isolate in pure form. It is a pale yellow liquid with a pungent odor and exhibits strong oxidizing properties, making it reactive with various organic and inorganic compounds. The acid can dissociate in water to release hypofluorite ions (OF⁻), contributing to its acidity. Due to its reactivity, hypofluorous acid is used in various applications, including disinfection and as a bleaching agent. However, its handling requires caution due to its corrosive nature and potential health hazards upon exposure. Overall, hypofluorous acid is an interesting compound in the study of fluorine chemistry and its applications in various fields.
