I'm looking for websites that can show Kc of a reaction and also its enthalpy change because I'm trying to find a suitable experiment condition for this reaction.
NaOCl+NaCl+H2O ::equil:: Cl2+2NaOH
( OCl-+Cl-+H2O ::equil:: Cl2+2OH- )
I could not find any information about Kc of the reaction online, the only information I find useful is that this forward reaction is endothermic. And if you know any information about this reaction, please give me some help.
Please correct me if I made mistakes, thank you. :)

I haven't checked, but I would start looking for the reverse reaction of dissolving Cl2 in NaOH (actually in any base).

And the enthalpy change can be estimated from the Hess' law.

You can find thermodynamical parameters either at the NIST webbook or CRC. The equilibrium constant can be determined from ΔG°. Note this parameter is temperature dependent.
