Analysis of a Commercial Bleach Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to determine the amount of sodium hypochlorite (NaClO) in commercial bleach. This can be done by forming triiodide ions. To make the measurement more accurate‚ starch was added to help determine the endpoint of the solution. The significance of this lab is that industry can use these techniques to determine the amount of NaClO in the bleach of the rival industry and improve it. Hypothesis: The hypothesis is that‚ an accurate

Analysis of Commercial Bleach AP Chemistry Introduction: Many commercial products are effective because they contain oxidizing agents. Some products that contain oxidizing agents are bleaches‚ hair coloring agents‚ scouring powders‚ and toilet bowl cleaners. The most common oxidizing agent in bleaches is sodium hypochlorite‚ NaClO (sometimes written NaOCl). Commercial bleaches are created by bubbling chlorine gas into a sodium hydroxide solution (remember this from your “funky redox rxns”?)

One example of an antimicrobial that we use in our home is bleach. Bleach contains the ingredient hypochlorous acid. This ingredient “causes bacterial proteins to unfold and stick to one another‚ making them nonfunctional

Analysis of Commercial Bleach Lab I. Purpose In this experiment‚ the amount of sodium hypochlorite in a commercial bleach will be determined by reacting it with sodium thiosulfate in the presence of iodide ions and starch. A solution of sodium thiosulfate of known concentration will be added to the bleach using a buret in a titration procedure. The disappearance of the dark blue color of the starch-iodine complex will signal the end point. II. Procedures Pre-Lab Questions 1. What is

Sodium hypochlorite‚ also known as chlorine bleach‚ soda bleach‚ or household bleach is a chemical with the formula NaClO. A common way sodium hypochlorite gets into the San Francisco bay is through daily household cleaning products such as laundry bleach. In a survey conducted by The Clorox Company‚ it was found that four out of five households use sodium hypochlorite bleach for their laundry. Since laundry detergent companies are not required to list every ingredient‚ customers are often not aware

Melissa McCarty‚ ND‚ at the Bastyr Center for Natural Health outside of Seattle‚ says chlorine bleach and stain-lifting solvents produce harmful fumes‚ can irritate skin and eyes‚ and can be fatal if swallowed. She adds that researchers have linked the chemicals to cancer and reproductive disorders as well. The greatest risk‚ McCarty says‚ might be

involves two oxidation-reduction reactions to calculate the oxidizing capacity of a sample of unknown bleach. In order to determine the volume of Na2S2O3 added‚ students will conduct a titration of bleach with thiosulfate with addition of a starch indicator to find the end point of the titration. Moreover‚ the oxidizing capacity of bleach is calculated with the percentage by mass of NaOCl in the unknown bleach sample. The overall chemical reaction throughout the experiment will be balanced with the two oxidation-reduction

Bleach Oxidation of 9-Hydroxyfluorene The purpose of this experiment was to oxidize an alcohol (9-hydroxyfluorene) to a ketone (9-fluorenone) using aqueous sodium hypochlorite (bleach) as the oxidizing agent‚ while introducing techniques used in microscale experiments. Reaction: Results 1. Recrystallized Product Yield Product yield = (actual yield/theoretical yield) x 100% 3mL 9-hydroxyfluorene x (1mL/1000mL) x (0.09 mol/L) = 2.7 x 10-4 moles 0.05g 9-fluorenone / (180.20g/mol) = 2.77 x 10-4
