Nevermind, I already tried it and it did not react very much... But if it would eventually react, I'm guessing it would be either 6HOCl + 2Fe > 2Fe(OCl)3 +3H2 due to the fact that iron is higher than hydrogen in the reactivity series, or 3HOCl + 2Fe > Fe2O3 + 3HCl due to the fact that HOCl is a pretty powerful oxidizer, although not nearly as powerful as H2O2 in rusting Fe.

Does Benzoic Acid react with Hypochlorous Acid in water and room temperature?

Yes, benzoic acid can react with hypochlorous acid in water at room temperature to form chlorobenzoic acid. This reaction is typically slow and requires higher temperatures or catalysts for efficient conversion.


Is hypochlorous acid a strong or weak acid?

Hypochlorous acid is a weak acid.


Does chlorine gas react with cold water?

Yes. Chlorine gas reacts with water to give hypochlorous acid and hydrochloric acid Cl2 + H2O -> HOCl + HCl The hypochlorous acid is the "disinfectant" most effective at pH 5, at low pH it forms hypochlorite ions. Remember if the water is impure the chlorine can potentially react with the impurities.


Which substance is produced when chlorine is added to water?

When chlorine is added to water, it can react to form hypochlorous acid (HOCl) and hydrochloric acid (HCl). Hypochlorous acid is the primary disinfectant that helps kill bacteria and other pathogens in water, while hydrochloric acid can contribute to lower the pH of the water.


Is hypochloric acid a base or an acid?

the fact that it is called hypochlorous acid shows that it is an acid


How can hypochlorous acid be made from salt?

Hypochlorous acid can be made from salt by mixing salt (sodium chloride) with water and passing an electric current through the solution in a process called electrolysis. This causes the salt to break down into its components, sodium and chloride ions. The chloride ions then react with water to form hypochlorous acid.


Is chloride a acid or not?

The chloride ion is neither acidic nor basic. Elemental chlorine itself is not acidic, but it will react with water to form hydrochloric acid and hypochlorous acid.


Does hydrochloric acid need air to react with iron?

Hydrochloric acid can react with iron in the absence of air to produce iron chloride and hydrogen gas. The reaction between hydrochloric acid and iron is a chemical reaction that does not require oxygen from the air.


What is the name of the acid HOCI?

hypochlorous acid


Does iron sulphate react with sulphuric acid?

Iron sulfate (ferrous sulfate) does not react with sulfuric acid because it is already in the form of a salt with sulfuric acid - FeSO4. However, iron metal can react with sulfuric acid to form iron sulfate and hydrogen gas.


Is iron react to acid?

Yes, iron reacts with acids.


Is hypochlorous acid a strong or weak acid?

Hypochlorous acid is a weak acid. It is a fairly weak acid compared to strong acids like hydrochloric acid.
