Sodium Hypochlorite Chemical

Sodium hypochlorite is a pale greenish-yellow dilute solution referred to as liquid bleach, which is a household chemical widely used as a disinfectant or a bleaching agent. In solution, the compound is unstable and easily decomposes, liberating chlorine which is the active principle of such products. Sodium hypochlorite is the oldest and still most important chlorine-based bleach. 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 or ammonia.
