Description
Sodium hypochlorite pentahydrate crystals are an excellent alternative to traditional sodium hypochlorite solutions.
Chemical Properties
Pale yellow crystals.
Uses
Individual sodium hypochlorite pentahydrate crystals (without nitro radicals) exhibit a strong oxidizing power, converting secondary alcohols to the corresponding ketones for industrial and laboratory use.
Definition
ChEBI:Sodium hypochlorite pentahydrate is a hydrate consisting of sodium hypochlorite and 5 molar equivalents of water.
Synthesis
The high concentration Sodium hypochlorite solution was prepared by passing chlorine gas into 45~48% Sodium hydroxide solution, filtering to remove the precipitated Sodium chloride, and cooling the filtrate to about 15℃, Sodium hypochlorite pentahydrate crystals were precipitated, and the product was obtained by centrifugal filtration.
Solubility in organics
Insoluble
