Description
Liquid|Solid
Hypochlorous acid is a chlorine oxoacid with formula HOCl; a weak, unstable acid, it is the active form of chlorine in water. It has a role as a human metabolite, an EC 3.1.1.7 (acetylcholinesterase) inhibitor and an EC 2.5.1.18 (glutathione transferase) inhibitor. It is a member of reactive oxygen species and a chlorine oxoacid. It is a conjugate acid of a hypochlorite.|An oxyacid of chlorine (HClO) containing monovalent chlorine that acts as an oxidizing or reducing agent.
Hypochlorous acid [7790-92-3], HOCl, Mr 52.5, is only moderately stable in aqueous solution. It is colorless when dilute and yellowish at higher concentrations. Hypochlorous acid is one of the most powerful oxidizing agents known. Hypochlorous acid solution decomposes exothermically. The main decomposition products are hydrochloric acid and oxygen.
Greenish-yellow aqueous solution. Highly unstable, weak acid. Decomposes to hydrogen chloride and oxygen. Can exist only in dilute solutions.

hypochlorous acid Use and Manufacturing
Oxidizing/reducing agents
Disinfectant. Because of its instability, hypochlorous acid is not used extensively as an oxidizing or bleaching agent. It was used mainly in the water treatment industry for slime control, for treatment of drinking water, and for sterilization of swimming pools. These applications have now been taken over by the more stable hypochlorites.
