[Chemical Knowledge]:Difference and Application of Chloric Acid and Hypochlorous Acid

In our daily life, we often hear the words chloric acid and hypochlorous acid, and sometimes we are confused about the difference and application between them. This article will detail the characteristics and applications of chloric acid and hypochlorous acid, and to analyze the difference between the two.

us to understand the chlorine acid. Chloric acid is a chemical substance with the chemical formula HClO3. It is a colorless liquid with strong oxidizing properties. Chloric acid can be dissolved by chlorine in water and is usually used as a bleaching agent, disinfectant and disinfectant in industry. In addition, chloric acid can also be used in metal surface cleaning and pickling processes. Because of its strong oxidation, chlorine acid has a significant disinfection and cleaning effect, widely used in water treatment, pharmaceutical industry, food industry and other fields.

However, hypochlorous acid is different from chloric acid. Hypochlorous acid chemical formula for HClO, is a yellow-green gas. It is a weak acid that can be partly dissociated into chloride and hypochlorite ions in water. Hypochlorous acid is a good oxidizing agent and is often used as a bleaching agent and disinfectant. It is widely used in drinking water, swimming pool water and wastewater treatment. Different from the characteristics of strong oxidation of chlorine acid, hypochlorous acid has weak oxidation, so it is safer. The biggest difference between

chloric acid and hypochlorous acid is the different oxidation performance. Chloric acid is a strong oxidant and has a strong oxidizing effect on organic and many inorganic substances. Although hypochlorous acid is also an oxidant, its oxidation is weaker than that of chloric acid. In addition, chloric acid is stable in aqueous solution, while hypochlorous acid will rapidly decompose in water, releasing chlorine gas. Therefore, attention should be paid to storage and use.

chloric acid and hypochlorous acid have their own applications in industry. Chloric acid is commonly used in bleach, disinfectants and disinfectants to effectively remove bacteria and organic contaminants. Hypochlorous acid is commonly used in drinking water treatment to eliminate microorganisms and odors in the water. In addition, hypochlorous acid is also commonly used in swimming pool water disinfection and wastewater treatment. Although chloric acid and hypochlorous acid overlap in the field of application, the specific application range of the two is different due to their different oxidation characteristics.

to sum up, chloric acid and hypochlorous acid are two kinds of chemical substances, the difference is mainly in the oxidation performance and stability. Chloric acid is a strong oxidant, widely used in bleach and fungicides and other fields. Hypochlorous acid, on the other hand, is a relatively weak oxidant that is commonly used in areas such as drinking water treatment and wastewater treatment. By understanding the difference between chloric acid and hypochlorous acid, we can better select and apply these two chemicals to their advantages in different fields.
