An Easy Way To Make Chlorine Water

Open publisher page 2 citations

Abstract

Chlorine water can be made easily by mixing hypochlorite and hydrochloric acid. The equilibrium lies toward Cl 2 in the reaction HOCl + HCl -> Cl 2 + H 2 O and this can be used to make chlorine water from sodium hypochlorite and hydrochloric acid if the presence of NaCl in the chlorine water does not interfere with its use.
