Best Answer

Usually it relates to hypochlorites content in the product.

Available chlorine is the quantity of chlorine that can hypothetically be produced by reaction of bleaching powder with hydrochloric acid.

Greater the available chlorine is - greater oxidation ability the bleaching powder has.

For example, available chlorine 5% means that fixed amount of something can be oxidized by (100/5)X=20X grams of bleaching powder and the same can be done with only X grams of pure chlorine.
