If the bleaching effect is due to oxidation, the oxidising power of hypochlorites must be considered to be destroyed by the addition of ammonia.
The discovery of electrolytichypochlorites dates back to 1859, when Watt found that chlorides of the fixed alkalies and alkaline earths yielded hypochlorites on being submitted to the action of an electrical current.
To prevent the formation of hypochlorites by the interaction of chlorine and alkali, the alkalinity of the liquor is determined and sufficient hydrochloric acid added to ensure an acidity of 0.
Rabs[5] experimented with various hypochlorites but was unable to find any appreciable differences in their germicidal action.
Rideal[6] was the first to note the strong germicidal power of chloramine and attributed the persistent germicidal activity of hypochlorites in sewage to the formation of chloramine and chloramine derivatives.
Again, solutions of chlorine gas and hypochlorites having the same oxidising activity, as determined by titration with thiosulphate after the addition of potassium iodide and acid, i.
Chlorine and hypochlorites are destructive and irritant to skin and it is possible that hot chlorinated water has, in some instances, a similar effect.
The first to notice the effect of ammonia on the germicidal value of hypochlorites was S.
The same is true of oxygen in the "nascent state" as illustrated by the use of hypochlorites for the same purpose.
When cotton is passed into strong solutions of bleaching powder and of alkaline hypochlorites and then dried, it is found to be tendered very considerably.
In the oxidising processes which follow the alkaline treatments, the hypochlorites are still the staple agents.
The products described were obtained by the action of hypochlorites and permanganates upon Swedish filter paper (Schleicher and Schüll).
SO{3}) by the hypochlorites (solutions at ordinary temperatures).
When heated, solutions of hypochloritesundergo a remarkable change.
In general it appears from experiments in vitro that, with the strength of antiseptics commonly used in surgery, mercury salts and hypochlorites have relatively little effect on phagocytosis as compared with phenol (Parry Morgan).
The solution, containing hypochlorites and chlorates, was then applied to the bleaching of linen, paper-pulp or the like, the solution being used over and over again.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "hypochlorites" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
