Sodium hypochloriteis an alkaline inorganic chemical compound with the formula NaOCl (also written as NaClO). It is the sodium salt of hypochlorous acid, consisting of sodium cations (Na⁺) and hypochlorite anions (OCl⁻).
It is most commonly known as bleach or chlorine bleach when used in dilute aqueous solutions. Sodium hypochlorite is widely used as a disinfectant, bleaching agent, and deodorizer in household cleaning, laundry, water treatment, swimming pools, and industrial processes.
Chemical properties: It is a strong oxidizing agent and corrosive. The solution is unstable and decomposes over time, especially when exposed to heat, sunlight, acids, or certain metals.
Concentrations: Household bleach typically contains 3–8% sodium hypochlorite, while industrial and pool applications use higher concentrations (up to 12.5% or more).
Safety: ''It can be dangerous if mishandled.'' Mixing with acids (e.g., vinegar or toilet cleaners) releases toxic chlorine gas, and it can cause skin, eye, and respiratory irritation or burns.
Applications: Used in drinking water and wastewater treatment, healthcare disinfection, textile bleaching, and as a sanitizer in swimming pools.
It is important to distinguish sodium hypochlorite from elemental chlorine, though both are chlorine-based disinfectants.
