bleaching action?

Question

Why bleaching action crates?Tell me reasons.

Answer 1

Chlorine bleach breaks down organic matter,resulting in that slimy feel,if you get it on your hands.It has many practical uses from cleaning,prepping,neutralizing among others...tom science

Answer 2

Most pigments (colors, also in stains) have special double bond systems. Due to their absorbtion of certain types of light you see their color. Bleach like chlorine is a rather strong oxidant, and can chemically alter these systems, and thus the color dissapears. But the dirt is still there; you could perfectly bleach a piece of... Whatever.

Answer 3

To bleach something is to remove or lighten its color; a "bleach" is a chemical that can produce these effects, often via oxidization. Common chemical bleaches include sodium hypochlorite, or "chlorine bleach," and "oxygen bleach," which contains hydrogen peroxide or a peroxide-releasing compound such as sodium perborate or sodium percarbonate. "Bleaching powder" is calcium hypochlorite.

Household bleach, also known as chlorine bleach, sodium hypochlorite (NaClO), is used in the home for whitening clothes, removing stains, and disinfecting. This is because sodium hypochlorite yields chlorine radicals—oxidizing agents readily reacting with many substances.

Chlorine bleach is often used with laundry detergents and is also commonly used as a disinfectant. Mixing bleach and cleaners containing ammonia, or using bleach to clean up urine can create toxic chloramine gases and an explosive called nitrogen trichloride.

Hair bleach contains H2O2 (hydrogen peroxide), which gives off oxygen radicals as it decomposes. Oxygen and chlorine radicals both have comparable bleaching effects.

Answer 4

Colored compounds are usually aromatic systems. this means that they have multiple alternating double bonds. Household bleach NaOCl dissolved in water is a strong oxidizer. It oxidizes some of the double bonds and destroys the aromatic system.
