Sodium hypochlorite

Description:
Sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) is a chemical compound commonly used as a disinfectant, bleaching agent, and sanitizer. It appears as a pale yellowish or greenish liquid with a characteristic chlorine odor. Sodium hypochlorite is highly soluble in water, forming a solution that is alkaline in nature. It is a strong oxidizing agent, which allows it to effectively kill bacteria, viruses, and fungi, making it widely used in household cleaning products and water treatment processes. The compound decomposes when exposed to light, heat, or acidic conditions, releasing chlorine gas, which can be hazardous. Sodium hypochlorite is typically produced through the reaction of chlorine gas with sodium hydroxide, and its concentration can vary, with household bleach solutions generally containing around 3-8% NaOCl. Safety precautions are essential when handling sodium hypochlorite, as it can cause skin and eye irritation and may react dangerously with certain substances, such as acids and ammonia.
