Sodium hypochlorite

[Michael Jancen-Widmer]

Hi everybody!

I wanted to know if somebody knows what happens when sodium hypochlorite  drops on a mixture of gelatine and distilled water. I wanted to make an experiment where I cultivate the same bacteria in 5 different media and one of them is with sodium hypochlorite, which I read on Wikipedia, is very dangerous. Is it possible that the nutrients are not recommended to each other because the gelatine is a organic substance?

It fades if it had much color to begin with. Live one celled critters get killed.

Laundering clothes of organic cotton works fine with sodium hypochlorite bleach... bleach on your skin is not damaging
at 6% concentration, just don't splash in your eyes.

It will pull on the molecules' electrons, pretty strongly, often reacting with them and then forming new/different molecules. See how it compares here to other electron-pullers:
