Determining the concentration of Sodium Hypochlorite (NaClO) in commercial bleach solution
Commercial Bleach is compared by the reaction of Cl2 with a base (usually a strong one). For the most part, this base is Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH), which yields NaClO (sometimes written as NaOCl; sodium hypochlorite). When aqueous, NaClO ionizes to … Continue reading

Can 20% (by mass) solution of Sodium Thiosulfate and 6% (by mass) Sodium Hypochlorite cause second degree burns?
Abstract: We were instructed to determine if the combination of 20.0% by mass of Sodium Thiosulfate (Na2S2O3, molar mass 158.11 g/mol or 248.2 g/mol for the pentahydrate 5H2O ) reacting with 6.0% by mass of Sodium Hypochlorite (NaClO, 74.44 g/mol) … Continue reading
