%0 Journal Article %T Analysis of active chlorine and pH concentration in samples of sodium hypochlorite 1% %A Ang¨¦lica LUDWIG %A Marcele Koch HOFFMEISTER %A Luis Eduardo Duarte IRALA %A Alexandre Azevedo SALLES %J RSBO %D 2007 %I University of Joinville %X The concentration of active chlorine and pH were analyzed in samplesof sodium hypochlorite 1% derived from three different bottles. Samples were stored in three bottles: bottle ¡°Pet 1¡±, ¡°Pet 2¡± and ¡°Pet 3¡±. One sample of each bottle was removed in the instant of opening the bottles (Time 0: T0). The other three samples (one of each bottle) have been exposed to the light and temperature during three hours and after that analyzed (Time 1: T1). The analysis of the results allowed to conclude that in all samples there was a decrease in the active chlorine concentration (T0JT1). The pH decreased from 12.00 to 11.50 (T0JT1) only samples deriving from bottle ¡°Pet 1¡±. The active chlorine percentage didn¡¯t correspond to the described on the bottles label. %K sodium hypochlorite %K pH %K chlorine %K samples. %U http://univille.edu.br/community/depto_odontologia/VirtualDisk.html?action=downloadFile&file=analise_concentracao_cloro_ativo.pdf¤t=%2FODONTOLOGIA%2FRSBO%2FRSBO_v.4_n.1_maio_2007
