What is the difference between chlorine and Sodium Hypo Chlorite?

Chlorine and sodium hypochlorite are used as bio cides to control the marine growth in water systems.
Usually chlorine in gaseous form is injected into the sea water intake system to achieve the above requirement.
Chlorine is toxic and poses a health hazard and difficult to handle.
So sodium hypochlorite has been introduced. Sodium hypochlorite is a unstable compound and it dissociates into sodium hydroxide and releases chlorine to do its action of bio cide function.
Changeover from free chlorine injection to sodium hypochlorite injection is common these days.
However the impact of sodium hypochlorite in Metallurgy of existing sea water systems is to be examined.

What is the difference between sodium chlorite solution and sodium chlorite powder?
The powder is dry, the solution is wet
What is sodium chlorite made up of?
Salt is made of sodium (Na) and chlorine (Cl). When these two elements bond, you get sodium chloride (NaCl). Otherwise known as table salt.
What is the difference between sodium chlorite and sodium hypochlorite?
They are two distinct chemicals with different anions.
Why do sodium and chlorine bond in the ionic way?
The difference in electronegativity between sodium and chlorine is the reason.
Quantity of sodium chlorite required for chlorine dioxide generation?
calculate it on stichiometric basis
Is sodium the same as sodium chlorite?
NO!!! Chlorine is a green/yellow poisonous gas. Sodium chloride is a white solid.
Are there any other compounds that can be formed by using sodium and chlorine gas other than sodium chloride?
There is sodium hypochlorite, sodium chlorite, sodium chlorate and sodium perchlorate
Is sodium chlorite same as bicarbonate of soda?
No. Sodium chlorite is NaClO2, a compound of sodium, chlorine, and oxygen. It is toxic. Bicarbonate of soda or sodium bicarbonate is NaHCO3, a compound of sodium, hydrogen, carbon, and oxygen. It is safe enough for human consumption to be used in food and antacids.
What is the formula for sodium chlorite?
Te chemical formula for sodium chlorite is NaClO2.
What is the name for NaClO4?
sodium chlorateNaClO3 = Sodium Chlorate
What is the difference between sodium hypochlorite and chlorine bleach?
Cl without any oxygen therefore, is chloride ClO with only one oxygen hypochlorite ClO2 with two oxygen ia chlorite ClO3 with three oxygen is chlorate ClO4 with four oxygen is perchlorate
Why is sodium chloride a ionic bond?
Sodium chloride has an ionic bond because a big electrostatic attraction between ions of sodium and chlorine exist.
