Sodium Hypochlorite

Sodium hypochlorite is a chemical compound with the formula NaClO. It is composed of a sodium cation (Na+) and a hypochlorite anion (ClO−); When dissolved in water sodium hypochlorite is commonly known as bleach or liquid bleach. It is frequently used as a disinfectant or a bleaching agent. The mixture of sodium peroxide (Na2O2) and hydrochloric acid, which react to produce sodium hypochlorite. is also termed as oxone. Sodium Hypochlorite; advantages Disinfection with sodium hypochlorite has similar disinfectant efficiency and residual performance as chlorine gas, but reduces the hazards associated with the handling and storing of chlorine gas especially if generated on-site. With on-site production, NaOCl solutions are less concentrated and less hazardous (typically a 1% concentration) than the standard supplied solution (14% concentration). As with chlorine gas, it is relatively cheap and can economically disinfect small to large amounts of water. If kept sealed, shelf life is not a factor. It can be easily stored for 1-2 months. Additional Information Delivery Time 2-3 DAYS Packaging Details Sodium hypochlorite Sodium hypochlorite is chlorine gas dissolved in sodium hydroxide. This is essentially household bleach. Sodium hypochlorite is a disinfectant that is liquid at room temperature and can be dosed with chemical feed pumps. ... If hypochlorite is exposed to acid/ chlorine gas will be released.Dear Sir. Concerning your issue about the preparation of 5% sodium hypochlorite from 10% sodium hypochlorite. Y ou can use dilution law : C1*V1 = C2 * V2 assume if you want to prepare to the volume of 100 ml/ then: 10 % * V1 = 5% * 100 / So / V1= 50 ml/ that mean you should take 50ml from the stock solution (10%) and completed to the volume (100ml) by deionized water. Regards/ Thanks
