You may have been told not to mix bleach and ammonia.
The reason is that bleach (sodium hypochlorite) reacts with
ammonia to produce toxic chloramines, such as NH2Cl.
For example, in basic solution:
OCl-1aq2 + NH31aq2S OH-1aq2 + NH2Cl1aq2
(a) The following initial rate data for this reaction were
obtained in basic solution at 25 °C
What is the rate law for the reaction? What is the
numerical value of the rate constant k, including the correct
units?
