Hypochlorous acid, HOCI

Hypochlorous acid, HOCI, is one of the active components in household bleach. [Pg.243]

As we saw above, chlorine forms hypochlorous acid, HOCI. The hydroxide ions generated from urea react with the hypochlorous acid in a typical acid-base reaction,... [Pg.243]

Because chlorine is inactivated by blood, serum, feces, and protein-containing materials, surfaces should be cleaned before chlorine disinfectant is applied. Undissociated hypochlorous acid (HOCI) is the active biocidal agent. When pH is increased,... [Pg.1096]

Most acids are oxyacids, in which the acidic proton is attached to an oxygen atom. The strong acids mentioned above, except hydrochloric acid, are typical examples. Many common weak acids, such as phosphoric acid (H3PO4), nitrous acid (HNO2), and hypochlorous acid (HOCI), are also oxyacids. Organic acids, those with a carbon atom backbone, commonly contain the carboxyl group ... [Pg.643]

Hypochlorous acid (HOCI) dissociates in water to hydrogen ions and hypochlorite ions (OCR). The sum of CI2, NaOCl, Ca(OCl)2, HOCI and OCR is referred to as free available chlorine. The power of free chlorine residual decreases with increasing pH. [Pg.103]

HCI is a strong acid and fully ionised (pKg = -7). This establises an equilibrium with hypochlorous acid (HOCI) which provides a source of chlorine. [Pg.52]
