Disinfectant.<\/p>\n<p>Bleaching powder is a chemical compound with the formula CaOCl2. It is a white, odorless powder that is used as a bleaching agent, disinfectant, and deodorizer. Bleaching powder is made by passing chlorine gas through a suspension of calcium hydroxide. The chlorine reacts with the calcium hydroxide to form calcium hypochlorite, which is then hydrolyzed to form hypochlorous acid and calcium chloride.<\/p>\n<p>Hypochlorous acid is a strong oxidizing agent that kills bacteria and other microorganisms. It is also effective against viruses and fungi.
