Hypoklorsyra

Hypoklorsyra is a weak acid with the chemical formula HClO. It is formed when chlorine gas dissolves in water. It is a colorless liquid that is unstable and readily decomposes. Hypoklorsyra is a strong oxidizing agent and a powerful disinfectant. Its antimicrobial properties stem from its ability to damage cellular components of bacteria, viruses, and fungi. It is widely used in water treatment to kill pathogens, in swimming pools to sanitize water, and as a cleaning agent. Hypoklorsyra is also produced naturally by the human body's immune system in white blood cells to fight off infections. In industrial applications, it is often generated electrochemically from brine. While effective, it can be irritating to skin and eyes in higher concentrations, and its effectiveness can be reduced by organic matter. The stability of hypoklorsyra solutions is influenced by factors such as pH, temperature, and the presence of other chemicals.
