    In its ionic form hypochlorite is written as ClO-. Combined with the cation potassium, the molecular formula KClO results. Little fun fact, hypochlorite is the active ingredient in bleach.

  • Discussion Fanatics

    Its chemical formula is KCl, consists of one potassium (K) atom and one chlorine (Cl) atom. An ionic compound is made of a metal element and a nonmetal element. In potassium chloride, the metal element is potassium (K) and the nonmetal element is chlorine (Cl), so we can say that KCl is an ionic compound.

    Subsequently, question is, is potassium hypochlorite acidic or basic? Potassium hypochlorite (chemical formula KClO) is the potassium salt of hypochlorous acid. It is used in variable concentrations, often diluted in water solution. It has a light grey color and a strong chlorine smell. It can be used as a disinfectant.

    Likewise, is sodium hypochlorite ionic or covalent?

    Sodium hypochlorite is a strong oxidizing agent that has a chemical formula of NaClO, with an ionic bond between the sodium (Na ) ion and a hypochlorite ion (ClO-). It is produced from the reaction of chlorine (Cl2) with sodium hydroxide (NaOH).

    Is potassium hypochlorite soluble?

    Soluble in water. POTASSIUM HYPOCHLORITE SOLUTION is a powerful oxidizing agent. May form highly explosive NCl3 on contact with urea.
