Liquid bleach is usually an aqueous solution of sodium hypochlorite, and dry powder bleaches contain chloride of lime. Since chlorine destroys silk and wool ... important part in chemistry and the chemical industry. The chlorides of most metals are easily soluble in water, which widens their applicability.
