    Bleach is the generic name for any chemical product that is used industrially or domestically to remove color from (i.e. to whiten) fabric or fiber (in a process called bleaching) or to disinfect after cleaning.

  3. Sodium hypochlorite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_hypochlorite

    Its corrosive properties, common availability, and reaction products make it a significant safety risk. In particular, mixing liquid bleach with other cleaning products, such as acids found in limescale-removing products, will release chlorine gas. Chlorine gas was utilized as a chemical weapon in World War I.

  4. 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 ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chlorine-releasing_compounds

    For example, the label of a household bleach product may specify "5% sodium hypochlorite by weight." That would mean that 1 kilogram of the product contains 0.05 × 1000 g = 50 g of NaClO. A typical oxidation reaction is the conversion of iodide I − to elemental iodine I 2. The relevant reactions are NaClO + 2 H + + 2 I − → NaCl + H 2 O ...

  6. Chlorine dioxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chlorine_dioxide

    Chlorine dioxide is a chemical compound with the formula ClO 2 that exists as yellowish-green gas above 11 °C, a reddish-brown liquid between 11 °C and −59 °C, and as bright orange crystals below −59 °C. It is usually handled as an aqueous solution. It is commonly used as a bleach.

    According to board-certified dermatologist Dr. Nazanin Saedi, “A bleach burn is a chemical burn on your scalp caused by hair bleach. Typically, a bleach burn is a first-degree burn that affects ...

  8. Electrochlorination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrochlorination

    The simplified chemical reaction is: NaCl + H 2 O + energy → NaOCl + H 2 [citation needed] That is, energy is added to sodium chloride (table salt) in water, producing sodium hypochlorite and hydrogen gas. Because the reaction takes place in an unpartitioned cell and NaOH is present in the same solution as the Cl 2: 2 NaCl + 2 H 2 O → 2 ...

  9. Hypochlorous acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypochlorous_acid

    Hypochlorous acid is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula Cl O H, also written as HClO, HOCl, or ClHO. [2] [3] Its structure is H−O−Cl.It is an acid that forms when chlorine dissolves in water, and itself partially dissociates, forming a hypochlorite anion, ClO −.
