Chlorine is the active ingredient in most household bleach and is one of the most commonly used and inexpensive chemical disinfectant for water. For disinfection, chlorine is in the form of hypochlorous acid (HOCI) and hypochlorous acid is a much better disinfectant than hypochlorite, (OCI). If 15 mg/L of bleach is used to disinfect water: a) What is the pH of the solution and how much of the chlorine is in the form of HOCI? b) You know that acid can dissociate once in contact with water depending and the proportion of the acid and the conjugate base will vary depending on the pH. How much of your bleach in the solution is in HOCI? Is this an effective amount of disinfection?
