WEBHypochlorous acid (HOCl) can be made pure in the gas phase, (10.4.1), while strong acid solutions can be made from Cl 2 O. In contrast, dilute aqueous solutions are obtained with a suspension of mercury oxide to remove the chloride, (10.4.2). H2O(g) + Cl2O(g) ⇌ 2HOCl(g) (10.4.1) (10.4.1) H 2 O ( g) + C l 2 O ( g) ⇌ 2 H O C l ( g)
