English name: Sodium Hypochlorite
Other names: Bleaching solution
Molecular formula: NaCLO
Physical and chemical properties: industrial sodium hypochlorite is a light yellow solution, strongly alkaline. It is unstable in the presence of acids and organics, easily decomposed into sodium chlorate and releasing chlorine gas, and the decomposition will be accelerated under light or heating. It is a strong oxidant, having strong bleaching effect.
Applications: it can be used to bleach pulp, textile fabrics, etc., and used as oxidant, water purification agent or disinfectant used in hospitals and daily life.
