Hypochlorite ions in action. The 0CI ion is the active bleaching agent in Clorox . 

The crude mixtures all have strong odors of aromatic phosphines. Some of this odor presumably arises from disproportionation of monophenylphosphinic acid to phenylphosphine. It is recommended that manipulations be carried out with rubber gloves to prevent transfer of these rather durable odors to the skin, and that all equipment be washed with a bleach such as Clorox before it is taken from the hood. 

Chlorine is used to make laundry bleach, such as Clorox, by dissolving chlorine in sodium hydroxide to give a weak solution of sodium hypochlorite. Sodium hypochlorite slowly releases an active form of oxygen, which reacts with many forms of soil and dirt to destroy them by oxidation. Sodium hypochlorite also rapidly destroys bacteria, viruses, and molds. 

Add 5 ml of sodium hypochlorite (Clorox) to 50 ml of acetic acid prepare the benzidine solution by dissolving 0.5 g of benzidine and one crystal of KI in 50-ml ethanol-HjO (1 1) spray the plates with the Clorox reagent and let dry then spray with benzidine reagent... 

Seeds of Lespedeza sericea were surface sterilized by soaking in Captan (1 g/1) 1 h, 35% Clorox for 20 min, and washing with IN HCI and water. For quantitation of components in Lespedeza roots, seeds were sown on moistened filter paper in plastic Petri dishes.

D. Pass the chlorine from 3 g KMn04 and excess HCI into 120 ml 10% NaOH to make a solution of hypochlorite (Clorox may do). 

Chlorox test. It is alleged that the dealer can take suspected cocaine and drop it in a vial of clorox. Presumably the cocaine will dissolve completely and procaine will turn a reddish orange color with any other cut trailing to the bottom of the vial as residue. 

The checkers observed that the aqueous layer was colorless when Clorox was used and was yellow when Purex was used. 

Sodium hypochlorite NaOCl is a strong oxidizer used in swimming pools, and when diluted to 5.25%, it is known as the laundry bleach Clorox. 

Warning One should never mix, or use together, chlorine cleaners, such as Clorox, with other cleaning substances containing ammonia. It is a deadly mixture. 

A procedure for preparing concentrated sodium hypochlorite solution is given by Coleman and Johnson. Common bleach solution, such as Clorox, may also be used, although the volume of the solution is considerably increased.
