What chemical expirements did James Watt study?
James Watt passed the chlorine into a weak solution of alkali, and obtained a turbid solution that appeared to have good bleaching properties
was there a significant discovery when James Watt witnessed Berthollet's experiment reacted Hydrocloric acid with manganese dioxide?
the experiment James Watt witnessed produced chlorine
How did James Watt expand upon the discovery of the bleach solution after wtinessing Berthollet's experiment reacted Hydrocloric acid with manganese dioxide producing chlorine?
James Watt began experiments along these lines with hopes of finding a commercially viable process
Did James Watt go on to discover other important chemical solutions after he James Watt began experiments along these lines with hopes of finding a commercially viable process?
James Watt discovered that a mixture of salt, manganese dioxide and sulphuric acid could produce chlorine
did James McGrigor develop the solution that we know as commercial chlorine bleach today after James Watt discovered that a mixture of salt, manganese dioxide and sulphuric acid could produce chlorine?
Charles Tennant patented a process for producing solid bleaching powder that it became a commercial success

Question: Why is bleach sold as a liquid then?
Self-contained rewrite: Why is bleach sold as a liquid then if Charles Tennant patented a process for producing solid bleaching powder that it became a commercial success?
