2. Physical Properties
- Calcium hypochlorite is a white/grey solid at room temperatures.
- Its solubility in water is 21g/100 mL and it reacts with the water when dissolved.
- Its solubility in hard water is relatively low when compared to its solubility in soft/medium-hard water.
- Ca(ClO)2 has a strong smell of chlorine (because it reacts with the water molecules present in air).
3. Chemical Properties
- It acts as a strong base since it readily accepts H+ When dissolved in water, the hypochlorite anion accepts a proton from H2O, liberating an OH– ion.
- The chemical reaction is given by ClO– + H2O → HClO + OH–
- This compound is also a powerful oxidizing agent since it can readily accept an electron.
- Calcium hypochlorite reacts with hydrochloric acid, yielding calcium chloride (CaCl2), water, and chlorine gas (Cl2).
- The chemical equation for this reaction is 4HCl + Ca(ClO)2 → CaCl2 + Cl2 + H2O
What are the Uses of Calcium Hypochlorite?
The compound Ca(ClO)2 is often used to disinfect large volumes of water in order to make it safe to drink. It is also widely used in swimming pools to sanitize the water body and destroy the germs present in it. Some other uses of calcium hypochlorite are listed below.
- Since it is a good oxidizing agent, this compound is quite useful in the field of organic chemistry.
- It is used to obtain fragmented aldehydes/carboxylic acids by cleaving the bonds in glycols and keto acids.
- Ca(ClO)2 can also be used in the halo form reaction to yield chloroform.
- The compound can be used to disinfect both wastewater and drinking water since it has a high chlorine availability.
