what type of solution hypochlorous acid
Hypochlorous acid is a weak acid that can only exist in solution, because it is highly unstable when isolated in a pure form. There are a number of uses for this chemical, most of which take advantage of its strong oxidating properties, which allow it to be used as a bleach and disinfectant, among many other things.o the other comments, obviously toxicity is often related to concentration. Very dilute hypochlorous acid is not particularly dangerous to people. From what I've read, nor is a 'slightly' acidified bleach solution (as the article seems to acknowledge with it's pH note!).
