KspThings Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks I would strongly discourage you from playing around like this if you don’t know what you’re doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
