  • Oxygen and Hydrogen Content in Bleach (NaClO)
    Bleach is a common name for a solution of sodium hypochlorite (NaClO). Here's how to break down the number of oxygen and hydrogen atoms:

    * Sodium hypochlorite (NaClO):

    * Sodium (Na): 1 atom per molecule

    * Chlorine (Cl): 1 atom per molecule

    * Oxygen (O): 1 atom per molecule

    Therefore, each molecule of bleach contains one oxygen atom.

    Hydrogen is not directly present in the main component of bleach (NaClO). However, bleach is typically a solution in water (H₂O), meaning there are many hydrogen atoms in the water molecules that make up the bleach solution.

    To summarize:

    * Oxygen atoms: 1 per molecule of NaClO

    * Hydrogen atoms: Not directly in NaClO, but present in the water used to make the bleach solution.
