This product is a powerful oxidizing agent with the formula ClHO.K. The IUPAC name of this chemical is potassium hypochlorite. With the CAS registry number 7778-66-7 and EINECS 231-909-2, it is also named as Hypochlorous acid, potassium salt (1:1). The classification code is Tumor data. It is colorless aqueous solution with a pungent irritating chlorine odor. What's more, it can form highly explosive NCl3 on contact with urea. When heating or contact with acids it produces highly toxic fumes of chlorine gas. It also may react vigorously with carbon, reacts potentially explosively with finely divided carbon and reacts with acetylene to form explosive chloroacetylenes. When heated to decomposition Potassium hypochlorite emits toxic fumes of K2O and Cl−. So the storage environment should be well-ventilated, low-temperature and dry with the temperature of 0-6 °C.
The other characteristics of Potassium hypochlorite can be summarized as: (1)ACD/LogP: 0.71; (2)# of Rule of 5 Violations: 0; (3)ACD/LogD (pH 5.5): 0.71; (4)ACD/LogD (pH 7.4): 0.48; (5)ACD/BCF (pH 5.5): 2.03; (6)ACD/BCF (pH 7.4): 1.19; (7)#H bond acceptors: 1; (8)#H bond donors: 1; (9)#Freely Rotating Bonds: 0; (10)Polar Surface Area: 20.23 Å2; (11)Exact Mass: 89.927474; (12)MonoIsotopic Mass: 89.927474; (13)Topological Polar Surface Area: 23.1; (14)Heavy Atom Count: 3; (15)Formal Charge: 0; (16)Complexity: 4.8.
