Hypochlorite

Description White King Bleach is a multi-purpose cleaner (Pental 2018, para. 2). The product manufacturer of bleach is Pental Products Pty Ltd located in Shepparton, Victoria (Pental Products Pty Ltd 2016). The chemicals contained in this product are sodium hypochlorite, sodium hydroxide and coco dimethyl amine oxide (Pental Products Pty Ltd 2016). Bleach has positive and hazardous effects on human health, in the context of household use as detailed in journal 1. In addition, the substance also has catastrophic consequences to larger environments; such as the biological, chemical, social and economic environments. Interpretation and evaluation Biological environment More than 100 million kilograms of chemicals are dumped every year into aquatic…

which is a mix of hypochlorous acid and hypochlorite ion. Chlorine gas is compressed into its liquid form. When added to water it hydrolyszes to form hypochlorous acid. Cl2 (g) + H2O(l) ⇋
HOCl(aq) +H3O+(aq) + Cl-(aq) The hypochlorous acid is weak and partially ionizes in water to form hydronium and hypochlorite ions. HOCl(aq) + H2O(l) ⇋
 +H3O+(aq) + OCl-(aq) The hypochlorous acid and hypochlorite ions are reffered to as “free chlorine” The hypochlorous acid has no electrical charge,…

Purpose: By doing this experiment, students will properly complete a redox titration well also determining the amount of hypochlorite ions present in the commercial bleach given. Introduction: Commercial Bleach and other commercial products like hair colouring agents, contain oxidizing agents. Oxidizing agents are substances that remove electrons from one or more reactants and thereby oxidizes it, whereas reducing agents are substance that give electrons to other reactant. There is some…

Introduction: The purpose of this experiment is to determine the product that is produced from sodium hypochlorite oxidizing 2-ethyl-1,3-hexanediol and this experiment is to also determine if sodium hypochlorite is a selective oxidizing agent. This reaction is an oxidation reaction. The reaction involves the removal hydrogens and sometimes the addition of oxygen. 2-ethyl-1,3-hexanediol will undergo an oxidation reaction to produce an unknown product (Scheme 1). (1) Scheme 1.…

Introduction Pools with crystal clear water look inviting on a hot day however there may be unseen hazards. Invisible dangerous pathogens and microorganisms may be present in pools that aren’t treated properly and can result in harmful side effects like swimmers ear or diarrhoea. Disinfectants are used to treat pools and chlorine is by far the most commonly used. Hypochlorous acid (HOCl) is the substance that sanitises these swimming pools (De La Matter, 2012). If kept within specified pH…

the chemical calcium hypochlorite at about 65 percent strength. The calcium hypochlorite form of chlorine is a solid that is easy to introduce into pool water. In addition to the chlorine itself, calcium and other inert ingredients make up the remainder of the chemical. Household bleach…

Hello I am Marcus Gonzalez a chemistry student at Texas State University and my lab partner, Colten and I where instructed to see if the combination and specific concentrations of sodium thiosulfate plus sodium hypochlorite are able to produce second degree burns on a person within 10 seconds. In order for a second degree burn to be possible we must reach a temperature of at least 56°C (133°F) in order to create burns up to third degree for the time the chemical stayed on the worker. Now the…

The pesticide is the disinfectant. This type of pesticide is known as an antimicrobial pesticide.The pesticide chemicals usually found in toilet cleaners are sodium hypochlorite or bleach. Toilet bowl cleaners also have other chemicals in them too, like hydrochloric acid. We should never mix a toilet bowl cleaner with any other household or cleaning products. Doing so can result in poisonous gasses being released and cause very serious breathing problems. Most disinfectant cleaners are very…

Furthermore, as the solution becomes more alkaline and more negative charges are present, the enzyme will eventually become denatured and thus lose the 3D shape and leading to a dysfunction in their respective function. In the end, the inhibition of enzymes will cause the death of E. coli bacterium as the proteins that are essential for bacterial growth will clump together and thus become inactivated, just like heat does, and kill bacteria. Sodium hypochlorite, NaClO (aq), is the active…

canal irrigants and intra canal medication.1 Sodium hypo- chlorite is the most popular and widely used root canal irrigation solution.11 Sodium hypochlorite is a broad spectrum antimicrobial agent and its mechanism of action is due to its ability to oxidize and hydrolyze cell proteins and because of its hyper tonicity it is able to some extent draw fluids out of the cells to some extent.12 Sodium hypochlorite has a pH of approximately 11-12, and when hypochlorite contacts tissue proteins,…
