It is true that such cases of isomerism are as yet unknown, but we do know that certain metals, in our present state of knowledge, yield oxychlorides only, while others only form hypochlorous salts.
In the case just now assumed we arrive at the oxychloride; when, however, the metal and chlorine change places in the water molecule, the isomeric hypochlorous salts are the result.
Hypochlorous acid is far superior to hydrogen peroxide as a germicidal agent and is as active as ozone, which liberates a greater amount of energy.
Fish eggs are extremely sensitive to chlorine and hypochlorous acid and very few will survive in a water containing 0.
The chlorine present as hypochlorous acid increased slightly but the quantity never exceeded very small proportions.
Chlorine water contains only minute traces of hypochlorous acid and there is no evidence that the endothermic reaction Cl{2}.
From thermochemical considerations hypochlorous acid and chlorine water should be about equally active as oxidising agents.
Each chlorine atom in halazone is equivalent to 1 molecule of hypochlorous acid and the "available" chlorine content is consequently 52.
They attributed the marked beneficial action to the formation of chloramines in situ by the action of hypochlorous acid upon amino acids and proteid bodies.
That the process was wholly an oxidising one, the work being done entirely by the oxygen set free from the hypochlorous acids in the presence of oxidizable matter.
The chloride of calcium being inert, the hypochlorite acted upon by the carbonic acid in the water either free or half bound, splits up into carbonate of calcium and hypochlorous acid.
The loss can be explained by the decomposition ofhypochlorous acid, in the presence of light, into hydrochloric acid and oxygen.
The formulas and names of these acids are as follows: HClO hypochlorous acid.
It is probably the calcium salt of both hydrochloric and hypochlorous acids, so that its structure is represented by the formula /ClO Ca \Cl.
Note 2: Bleaching powder is easily acted upon by the carbonic acid in the air, which liberates the weak hypochlorous acid.
Its use as a bleaching or disinfecting agent, or as a source of chlorine, depends upon the amount of hypochlorous acid which it yields when treated with a stronger acid.
A solution of chlorine monoxide, or hypochlorous acid, does not explode, owing to the presence of the mass of water.
The oxidising action of hypochlorous acid and its salts is not only applied to bleaching but also to many reactions of oxidation.
Both hypochlorous acid and chlorine monoxide may be regarded as products of the metalepsis of water, because HOH corresponds with ClOH and ClOCl.
This is insoluble in water, and is not affected by hypochlorous anhydride, so that the solution will contain hypochlorous acid only, but the greater part of it splits up into the anhydride and water.
The capacity of hypochlorous acid (studied by Carius and others) for entering into combination with the unsaturated hydrocarbons is very often taken advantage of in organic chemistry.
The salts of this acid have the same bleaching property as the salts of hypochlorous acid.
If the crystallo-hydrate of chlorine be mixed with mercury oxide, the hydrochloric acid formed in the reaction gives mercury chloride, and hypochlorous acid remains in solution.
Hypochlorous acid first reddens, and then bleaches, litmus-paper.
Chloride of lime is a pale, yellowish-white powder, generally more or less damp, and evolving a chlorine-like odour of hypochlorous acid.
It is decomposed by acids with the evolution of chlorine and oxygen (hypochlorous acid).
Oxidation of a salt of aniline by free chlorine or free hypochlorous acid.
A small quantity of the powder spread on a flat dish or plate, and placed on the chimney-piece, and a like quantity in an opposite part of the room, will continue to evolve sufficient chlorine or hypochlorous acid to disinfect (?
Simple immersion of the prints in a solution of hypochlorous acid (the article remaining in the solution for a longer or shorter space, according to the strength of the solution) is generally all that is required to whiten it.
The patentee has apparently thoroughly grasped the fact that carbonic acid has great affinity for lime and that it liberates, in its gaseous condition, the hypochlorous acid, which bleaches.
The most perfect contact is realized between the nascent hypochlorousacid resulting from its action and the fiber constituent in the exposure of the cloth treated with the bleaching solution to the action of the gas.
It is readily soluble in water, with which it combines to form hypochlorous acid.
Hypochlorous acid is formed when chlorine monoxide dissolves in water, and can be prepared (in dilute solution) by passing chlorine through water containing precipitated mercuric oxide in suspension.
One of the most important derivatives of hypochlorous acid is bleaching powder.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "hypochlorous" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
