This makes it easier to apply as a disinfectant in medical areas, next to its use as a bleach. When bleaching powder dissolves, it reacts with water to underchloric acid (HOCl) and hypochlorite ions (OCl-). Chlorine kills pathogens such as bacteria and viruses by breaking the chemical bonds in their molecules.
