Bleach:
Common household product used to chemically whiten clothing or other objects.
Oftentimes the process of bleaching removes color or whitens by means of oxidation.
Household bleach of the chlorine variety usually contains a solution of approximately 3-6% sodium hypochlorite (NaClO). There is also “oxygen bleach” which contains hydrogen peroxide or other compounds that release peroxide such as sodium perborate, sodium percarbonate, sodium persulfate, sodium perphosphate, or urea peroxide together with catalysts and activators, e.g. tetraacetylethylenediamine and/or sodium nonanoyloxybenzenesulfonate.
Bleaching powder consists of calcium hypochlorite (CaClO).
Bleaches often have strong bactericidal properties and can be used to disinfect or sterilize. Most bleaches are hazardous if ingested or inhaled and should be used with care.
The process of bleaching can be summarized in the following set of chemical reactions:
Cl2(aq) + H2O(l) <–> H+(aq) + Cl-(aq) + HClO(aq)
The H+ ion of the hypochlorous acid then dissolves into solution, and so the final result is effectively:
Cl2(aq) + H2O(l) <–> 2H+(aq) + Cl-(aq) + ClO-(aq)
Hypochlorite tends to decompose into chloride and a highly reactive form of oxygen:
ClO- –> Cl- + O
This oxygen then reacts with organic substances to produce bleaching or antiseptic effects.
