2. Calcium hypochlorite - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcium_hypochlorite

   Calcium hypochlorite is a general oxidizing agent and therefore finds some use in organic chemistry. [6] For instance the compound is used to cleave glycols, α-hydroxy carboxylic acids and keto acids to yield fragmented aldehydes or carboxylic acids. [7] Calcium hypochlorite can also be used in the haloform reaction to manufacture chloroform. [8]

3. Chlorine-releasing compounds - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chlorine-releasing_compounds

   Calcium hypochlorite, Ca(OCl) 2. [20] This product, known as "bleaching powder" or "chlorinated lime", it is used in many of the same applications as sodium hypochlorite, but is more stable and contains more available chlorine. It is usually marketed as a white powder that contains, besides the hypochlorite, also calcium hydroxide Ca(OH)

4. Dakin's solution - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dakin's_solution

   Dakin's original solution contained sodium hypochlorite (0.4% to 0.5%), prepared by treating calcium hypochlorite with sodium carbonate ("washing soda"). The solution left after removal of the insoluble calcium carbonate still contained some soda. [7] Boric acid (4%) was then added as a buffering agent to maintain a pH of between 9 and 10.

5. Hypochlorous acid - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypochlorous_acid

   Because of its strong antimicrobial properties, the related compounds sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) and calcium hypochlorite (Ca(OCl) 2) are ingredients in many commercial bleaches, deodorants, and disinfectants. [5] The white blood cells of mammals, such as humans, also contain hypochlorous acid as a tool against foreign bodies. [6]

6. Bleach - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bleach

   It is used in many households to whiten laundry, disinfect hard surfaces in kitchens and bathrooms, treat water for drinking, and keep swimming pools free of infectious agents. Bleaching powder (formerly known as "chlorinated lime"), usually a mixture of calcium hypochlorite (Ca(ClO) 2), calcium hydroxide (slaked lime, Ca(OH)

7. Swimming pool sanitation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swimming_pool_sanitation

   Human tears have a pH of 7.4, making this an ideal point to set a pool. [13] More often than not, it is improper pH and not the sanitiser that is responsible for irritating swimmers' skin and eyes. Total alkalinity should be 80–120 ppm and calcium hardness between 200 and 400 ppm. [14] [failed verification]

8. Hypochlorite - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypochlorite

   In chemistry, hypochlorite, or chloroxide is an anion with the chemical formula ClO −. It combines with a number of cations to form hypochlorite salts. Common examples include sodium hypochlorite (household bleach) and calcium hypochlorite (a component of bleaching powder, swimming pool "chlorine"). [1] The Cl-O distance in ClO − is 1.69 Å ...

9. Skin whitening - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skin_whitening

   Skin whitening, also known as skin lightening and skin bleaching, is the practice of using chemical substances in an attempt to lighten the skin or provide an even skin color by reducing the melanin concentration in the skin. Several chemicals have been shown to be effective in skin whitening, while some have proven to be toxic or have ...
