Making bleach
gatewood:
I separated chlorine from sodium, using electrolysis on salt water and got myself a bottle full of nasty chlorine gas and I wanna turn it into bleach water. How can I do this? Just by adding and mixing water in it, will it dissolve?
Borek:
1. Good you know chlorine is nasty, bad that you made it without plans for disposal.
2. Just water won't work too well, solution of a hydroxide would be better.
gatewood:
Well I got plans to make hydrochloric acid, besides, I didnt produce way too much of it.
Just mixing it with hydroxide is enough then?
Borek:
More or less, you will get a solution of chloride and hypochlorite.
gatewood:
well, for now, I want it for bleach, so will hypochlorite be a good disinfectant too?
