REDOX REACTIONS - KEEEL

Example 2 - Balancing Redox Reactions in Basic Solutions. The active ingredient in bleach is the hypochlorite (OCl-) ion. This ion is a powerful oxidizing agent which oxidizes many substances under basic conditions. A typical reaction is its behavior with iodide (I-) ions as shown below in net ionic form. I- (aq) + OCl-(aq) -----> I2 + Cl- + H2O. ................
