They are good bleaching agents and disinfectants due to their oxidizing potency. Hypochlorites can be employed in organic chemistry to oxidize primary alcohols into carboxylic acids.

<h3>What function does hypochlorite serve as an oxidizer?</h3>
  • In this experiment, we utilize the test paper to make sure that the reaction has received more bleach than is necessary to completely oxidize the alcohol.
  • Since the process moves forward more quickly in an acidic environment, hypochlorous acid (HOCl) is assumed to be the real oxidizing agent (although this is not confirmed).
  • Bleach, also known as sodium hypochlorite, is most usually used as a disinfectant. It is a multipurpose disinfectant that kills mycobacterium, bacteria, fungi, viruses, and other microorganisms.

How does a virus infect a host cell?
Burka [1]
A virus infects the cell by attaching fibers of its protein tail to a specific receptor on the bacterial cell wall and then injecting the nucleic acid into the host, leaving the empty capsid outside. In viruses with a membrane envelop, the viral envelop merges with the host cell membrane and is taken in to the host cell by a process called pinocytosis, then releases its nucleic acid inside the host cell to be intergraded with host cell genome.
