Is bleach stronger than acid?

This is like asking: Are bananas better than bricks. There is no answer. Acids could be defined as substances that donate hydrogen ions but some acids like vinegar, tartaric acid, lactic acid, citric acid, salicylic acid, ascorbic acid are all safe to eat whereas other acids are too vigorous at donating hydrogen ions and would cause severe burns if they touch our skin. The concentration of acid is also a factor. Dilute hydrochloric acid can be tolerated by our skin even though it is a strong acid. Bleaches are used as whitening agents or disinfectants. Bleach is usually sodium hypo chlorite, NaClO. It is a strong oxidising agent. It can also result in damage to the skin. Bleach plus acid produces a toxic gas, chlorine and bleach plus ammonia solutions (another cleaning agent) produces toxic chloramines. Even bleach plus urine can produce chloramines. Most household bleaches are less than 6%.


Which acid does bleach contain?

There are several kinds of bleaches. Usually their chemical compounds containing chlorine or oxygene. These are strong oxidizers that can alter colorful molecules making them colorless. If your talking about bleach for hair the compound is called hydrogen peroxide which is a weak acid.


Sodium hypochlorite- acid or base?

Sodium hypochlorite is a base. It is the conjugate base of the acid hypochrous acid. Meaning, it's the product when hypochlorous acid, HClO, reacts with a base, such as NaOH. The conjugate base of a weak acid is generally a strong base, as in this case. Sodium hypochlorite is the main ingredient in bleach, a strong base.


What acids in bleach?

There are no acids in bleach. Bleach has a very basic pH (as opposed to acidic). By contrast, ammonia is acidic. There is not an easy way to tell by sight or smell whether something is an acid or base. There are other ways of determining this, such as Litmus paper or phenolphthalein.
