Should be merged with calcium oxy-chloride, as they are the same compound.

[edit] Calcium hypochlorite reacts with hydrochloric acid to form calcium chloride

the formula seems unbalanced.

I don't know Chemistry. But they are adding Bleaching Powder to the water in the tank from where water is supplied to all residents of this building who use the water for cooking, washing etc.

Is this safe?

I hope somebody knowledgeable can guide.

Reaction is unbalanced. there should be 3 H2O and NaClO. But I don't understand what for is sodium process? Reaction of NaOH and Cl2 is separate thing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.6.46.42 (talk) 11:04, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
