When clothes have stains, bleach may be added to the wash to react with the soil and make the stains colorless. The bleach solution is prepared by bubbling chlorine gas into a solution of sodium hydroxide to produce a solution of sodium hypochlorite, sodium chloride, and water. One brand of bleach contains 5.25% sodium hypochlorite by mass (active ingredient) with a density of 1.08 g/mL. (6.4, 7.1, 7.2, 8.2, 9.2, 9.3, 9.4, 10.1)

Bleach is a solution of sodium hypochlorite.

a. What is the formula and molar mass of sodium hypochlorite?

---

b. Draw the electron-dot formula for the hypochlorite ion.

---

c. How many hypochlorite ions are present in 1.00 gallon of bleach solution?

---

d. Write the balanced chemical equation for the preparation of bleach.

---

e. How many grams of NaOH are required to produce the sodium hypochlorite for 1.00 gallon of bleach?

---

f. If 165 g of Cl2 is passed through a solution containing 275 g of NaOH and 162 g of sodium hypochlorite is produced, what is the percent yield of sodium hypochlorite for the reaction?
