CHEMICAL AND PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
| Physical Description | Calcium hypochlorite appears as a white granular solid (or tablets compressed from the granules) with an odor of chlorine. Toxic, irritating to the skin. Noncombustible, but will accelerate the burning of combustible materials. Prolonged exposure to fire or heat may result in the vigorous decomposition of the material and rupture of the container. Diluted samples may undergo reactions as described above if they contain less than 39% available chlorine but take longer to become involved and react less vigorously. Used for water purification, disinfectant for swimming pools, for bleaching paper and textiles. |
|---|---|
| Color/Form | Powder |
| Odor | Strong chlorine odor |
| Boiling Point | Decomposes at 100 °C |
| Melting Point | 100 °C |
| Solubility | 21% in water at 25 °C |
| Density | 2.350 g/cu cm |
| Stability/Shelf Life | All hypochlorite soln are unstable, esp if acidified; slowly decomp on contact with air /hypochlorite soln/ |
| Decomposition | The 70% grade may decomp violently if exposed to heat or direct sunlight. Gives off chlorine and chlorine monoxide above 350 °F (poisonous gases). |
| Corrosivity | 0.001 mm ASTM grade 2 titanium/yr at 6 wt% and 100 °C /From table/ |
| Refractive Index | Index of refraction: 1.545 (alpha); 1.69 (beta) |
| Other Experimental Properties | Decomp in acid; decomp with evolution of chlorine in cold water /Basic calcium hypochlorite/ |
| Chemical Classes | Other Classes -> Inorganic Oxidizing Agents |
