Hello !

Is it possible to produce hypochlorous acid by reacting chlorine gas with water ?

Cl2 + 2H2O --> 2HOCl + H2

If it is, is there special conditions for the reaction to occure ? And if it is not, is there another way to make hypochlorous acid ?

Thanks

I would strongly discourage you from playing around like this if you don’t know what you’re doing.
