Chapter 5, Problem 54RQ

Laundry bleach such as Clorox is a dilute solution of sodium hypochlorite, $\text{NaOCl}$. Write a balanced net ionic equation for the reaction of $\text{NaOCl}$ with ${\text{Na}}_{\text{2}}{\text{S}}_{\text{2}}{\text{O}}_{\text{3}}$. The ${\text{OCl}}^{\text{-}}$ is reduced to chloride ion and the ${\text{S}}_{\text{2}}{\text{O}}_{\text{3}}{}^{\text{2-}}$ is oxidized to sulfate ion.
