Analysis of the chemical stability of the 1% sodium hypochlorite solution taking in consideration the place of storage and the amount of present solution in the bottle

Introduction and objective: This study had as objective to analyze theloss of the chlorine text of the 1% sodium hypochlorite solution stored in coolant and ambient temperature and in bottles of plastic amber and cloudy white plastic, leading in consideration the amount of existing solution in the bottles. Material and methods: 24 liters of solution had been used, which had been divided in two groups: group 1 (6 bottles of plastic amber and 6 white plastic bottles filled with 1.000 mL of the 1% sodium hypochlorite solution) and group 2 (6 bottles of plastic amber and 6 white plastic bottles filled with 800 mL of solution).In the second group had been removed 50 mL of solution of each bottle on each week, while the bottles of group 1 had always remained full. The analysis of the chlorine text was carried through in the beginning and in the final period of 10 weeks through the method of titulometria of oxi-reduction or iodometria. Results and conclusion:For the analysis statistics it was used analysis of the variance (Anova)followed by the test of Tukey, to the level of significance of 5%, where it can be verified that the amount of present solution in the interior of the bottles contributed for the instability of the solution, whatever the place and the bottle of storage, and the full bottles had kept the chlorinetext of the solutions higher.
