give the name and formula for the acid derived from the following anion chlorite?
chlorate
mixing sodium chlorite solution with a weak food-grade acid solution (commonly citric acid), both stable, produces short-lived acidified sodium chlorite (asc) which has potent decontaminating properties. upon mixing the main active ingredient, chlorous acid is produced in equilibrium with chlorite anion. the proportion varies with ph, temperature, and other factors, ranging from approximately 5–35% chlorous acid with 65–95% chlorite; more acidic solutions result in a higher proportion of chlorous acid. chlorous acid breaks down to chlorine dioxide which in turn breaks down to chlorite anion and ultimately chloride anion. asc is used for sanitation of the hard surfaces which come in contact with food and as a wash or rinse for a variety of foods including red meat, poultry, seafood, fruits and vegetables. because the oxo-chlorine compounds are unstable when properly prepared, there should be no measurable residue on food if treated appropriately. asc also is used as a teat dip for control of mastitis in dairy cattle.

section::::preparation.





















































chlorine dioxide is a compound that can decompose extremely violently when separated from diluting substances. as a result, preparation methods that involve producing solutions of it without going through a gas-phase stage are often preferred. arranging handling in a safe manner is essential.





















































section::::preparation.:oxidation of chlorite.





















































in the laboratory, clo can be prepared by oxidation of sodium chlorite with chlorine:





















































traditionally, chlorine dioxide for disinfection applications has been made from sodium chlorite or the sodium chlorite – hypochlorite method:





















































or the sodium chlorite – hydrochloric acid method:





















































or the chlorite – sulfuric acid method:
