Silver hypochlorite is a chemical compound with the chemical formula AgOCl (also written as AgClO). It is an ionic compound of silver and the polyatomic ion hypochlorite.[1][2] The compound is very unstable and rapidly decomposes.[3] It is the silver(I) salt of hypochlorous acid. The salt consists of silver(I) cations (Ag+
) and hypochlorite anions (−
OCl).
Synthesis
- Bubbling chlorine through an aqueous suspension of silver oxide.[4]
- 2 Cl
2 + Ag
2O + H
2O → 2 AgCl + 2 HOCl - 2 HOCl + Ag
2O → H
2O + 2 AgOCl
- 2 Cl
- Reaction of hypochlorous acid with silver nitrate produces silver hypochlorite and nitric acid.[5]
- HOCl + AgNO
3 → AgOCl + HNO
3
- HOCl + AgNO
Chemical properties
Silver hypochlorite is very unstable, and its solution will soon disproportionate into silver chlorate and silver chloride:
- 3 AgOCl → AgClO
3 + 2 AgCl
