How the bleaching powder works?
I would like to know how the bleaching powder works. Can you explain it to me?
Certainly! Bleaching powder is a white, powdered mixture of calcium hypochlorite, calcium hydroxide, and other chemicals that is used for a variety of purposes, including disinfecting, water treatment, and stain removal. When dissolved in water, the calcium hypochlorite in the bleaching powder releases chlorine gas, which acts as a powerful oxidizing agent.
