Product Description
Calcium hypochlorite exists as a white granular powder and has the formula of Ca(OCl)2. It has a strong scent of chlorine but is more stable than chlorine. It exists as both anhydrous and hydrated forms, giving a basic aqueous solution.
The basicity of the solution arises from the hydrolysis reaction, where calcium hypochlorite is broken down into hypochlorous acid and calcium hydroxide. The basicity outweighs the acidity property since calcium hydroxide is a strong base and hypochlorous acid is a weak acid.
Calcium hypochlorite is a good chlorine derivative and can release chlorine upon reactions. Calcium hypochlorite can react with carbon dioxide to form calcium carbonate, releasing dichloride monoxide. Similarly, calcium hypochlorite can also react with hydrochloric acid to form calcium chloride, water and gaseous chlorineIt is a solid substitute for liquid sodium hypochlorite for water treatment and bleaching.

Calcium hypochlorite is an inorganic compound with formula Ca(ClO)2. It is a white solid, although commercial samples appear yellow. It strongly smells of chlorin e, owing to its slow decomposition in moist air. This compound is relatively stable as a solid and solution and has greater available chl orine than sodiu m hypochlorite. "Pure" samples have 99.2% active chlorin e. Given common industrial purity, an active c hlorine content of 65-70% is typical. It is the main active ingredient of commercial products called bleaching powder, used for water treatment and as a bleaching agent.
Product Application
Calcium hypochlorite is a versatile chemical that finds its application in various industries. Some of its major applications are:
1. Deodorant: Calcium hypochlorite is used as a deodorant due to its strong oxidizing properties. It can react with the odor-causing compounds and neutralize them, thereby eliminating the foul smell.
2. Oxidizing agent: Calcium hypochlorite is a potent oxidizing agent and finds its use in various chemical reactions. It can oxidize a wide range of organic compounds, including alcohols, aldehydes, and ketones.
3. Bleaching agent: Calcium hypochlorite is commonly used as a bleaching agent in the textile and paper industries. It can remove the color from the fibers and make them white.
4. Swimming pool sanitation: Calcium hypochlorite is widely used for swimming pool sanitation. It can effectively kill the bacteria and other microorganisms present in the water and keep it clean and safe for swimming.
5. Water treatment: Calcium hypochlorite is used to disinfect drinking water and other industrial water sources. It can kill the harmful pathogens and make the water safe for consumption.
6. Bathroom cleaners and laundry detergents: Calcium hypochlorite is used in various cleaning products, such as bathroom cleaners and laundry detergents, due to its strong oxidizing properties. It can remove the tough stains and dirt from the surfaces and fabrics.
7. Haloform reaction: Calcium hypochlorite plays an important role in the haloform reaction to prepare chloroform. In this reaction, it reacts with acetone or ethanol to produce chloroform.
In summary, calcium hypochlorite is a useful chemical with a wide range of applications in various industries. Its strong oxidizing and disinfecting properties make it a popular choice for water treatment, sanitation, and cleaning products.
