Chem Question

<li>which of the following is a main active ingredient in household bleach solutions:</li>
</ol>

<p>NaCl
NaClO
Na2SO4</p>

<p>are we really expected to know that?</p>

<p>I would like to know about this as well!</p>

<p>Sodium hypochlorite (NaClO) is the right answer, because it’s just something I know. However, going by elimination, NaCl is just table salt, which probably isn’t right. Na2SO4 would be acidic in solution right? (I’m not sure about this because it has been a year since I learned this. If this is incorrect, I apologize.) At any rate, bleach is a base.</p>
