Calcium hypochlorite is an inorganic compound with formula Ca(ClO)2. It is a white solid, although commercial samples appear yellow. It strongly smells of chlorine, owing to its slow decomposition in moist air. This compound is relatively stable as a solid and solution and has greater available chlorine than sodium hypochlorite. "Pure" samples have 99.2% active chlorine. Given common industrial purity, an active chlorine content of 65-70% is typical. It is the main active ingredient of commercial products called bleaching powder, used for water treatment and as a bleaching agent.

(1)Calcium hypochlorite is commonly used to disinfect public swimming pools and drinking water. In solution, calcium hypochlorite can be used as a general disinfectant, but sodium hypochlorite (bleach) is usually preferred due to calcium residue (which hardens the water).
(2)Organic chemistry
The compound is used for cracking ethylene glycol, alpha-hydroxy-carboxylic acids, and ketoacids to produce fragmented aldehydes or carboxylic acids. Calcium hypochlorite can also be used in the haloform reaction to produce chloroform. Calcium hypochlorite can be used to oxidize mercaptan and sulfide byproducts in organic synthesis, thereby reducing their odor and making them safe to dispose of. The reagents used in organic chemistry are similar to disinfectants with a purity of ~70%.
