We are trying to prepare sodium hypochlorite solution for decontamination purposes. But sodium hypochlorite powder is not dissolving in water and remains precipitated. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.
If you have access to it as a disinfectant then there should be some instructions accompanied the product for this purpose. You could also read some about it's use and chemistry, which will aid in your utilization of the compound for that purpose, see:
