You must have misspelled the name: it is sodium hypoCHLORITE for NaClO.
This oxidative, weak basic salt is split into ions when dissolved in water: Na+ and ClO-
With chloride (Cl-) in neutral to slightly acid environment the more reactive gaseous chlorine (Cl2) is formed.
This is a very toxic gas and dangerous in Swimming Pools, causing lung oedemia (edema) when inhaled.
- fast in acidic solution:
Cl- + ClO- + 2H+ --> Cl2 + H2O
- or slowly in neutral solution:
Cl- + ClO- + H2O --> Cl2 + 2OH-
- or reversed in alkaline:
Cl2 + 2OH- --> Cl- + ClO- + H2O

Is sodium can react with water a chemical change?
The reaction of sodium and water is considered to be a chemical change.
What would the reaction with sodium and water be?
sodium in water form compound with OH as water breaks in H+ and OH- and Na forms NaOH
Water reacts with sodium metal to produce sodium hydroxide and hydrogen gas along with heat and light. What are the reactants in this chemical reaction?
Sodium metal and water
What happen when sodium is dropped in water?
The sodium burns, spilting the water into hydrogen and oxygen. The hydrogen itself then burns with explosive force.
Sodium fizzes when added to water. But why doesn't sodium chloride fizz when added to water?
Sodium fizzes in water because it is undergoing a chemical reaction with water to form sodium hydroxide. The result is more stable than either of the original chemicals. When sodium chloride is added to water both of these substances are stable with respect to each other and no reaction occurs that results in a new chemical product.
Which reaction will happen faster sodium with water or magnesuim with water?
Sodium wins!
What is the reaction for sodium and water?
explosion
Which reaction will happen faster sodium with water or magnesium with water?
Sodium is MUCH faster.
What is the reaction between sodium shalphate and water?
Sodium sulfate dissolves in water to produce a solution of sodium sulfate.
Does water react with sodium hydroxide?
No. Water and sodium hydroxide will form a solution, but no reaction occurs.
Is sodium can react with water a chemical change?
The reaction of sodium and water is considered to be a chemical change.
Is dissoulution of sodium chloride in water a chemical reaction?
It is not a chemical reaction.
When 10g of sodium is put into 100g of water the reaction produces 109.6g of sodium hydroxide solution why does it not add up?
When 10g of sodium are put into 100g of water, the reaction produces only 109.6g of sodium hydroxide because of the sodium's solvency. Some of the sodium is displaced in the reaction, and this is why it does not seem to add up.
Which reaction occurs when sodium metal react with water?
A violent reaction: sodium hydroxide is formed and hydrogen released.
What is the general equation for water and sodium carbonate?
No chemical reaction between water and sodium carbonate, only solving of the sodium carbonate in water.
Is sodium chloride a reactant or product?
It can be either, depending on the reaction. Sodium chloride is a product of the reaction of sodium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid. Sodium chloride is a reactant in the ion exchange reaction in a water softener to remove calcium from hard water.
What gas is produced by sodium?
After the violent reaction of sodium with water hydrogen is released.
