Active chlorine compounds form a group of substances capable of many useful reactions. In addition to their well-known bleaching properties, newer compounds of this class are finding unusual and specialized applicatians in the textile industry. It would appear that if the nature of these compounds were better known they would find wider usage in the industry. This article describes the chemistry of some of the known active chlorine compounds.

103rapid stirring are necessary while taking melting points because of the low heat conductivity of the acid.

It reacts slowly with the oxygen of the air, liberating iodine.
