What is the common use of sodium chlorate (I) solution?

How is bleach made? Give the balanced symbol equation for the reaction

In the reaction between sodium hydroxide and chlorine gas to form bleach, which element undergoes disproportionation?

When you mix chlorine with water, it undergoes disproportionation. The products are hydrochloric acid and chloric (I) acid (also known as hypochlorous acid). Give the balanced symbol equation for this reaction

Chloric (I) acid is formed when chlorine is mixed with water. Aqueous chloric (I) acid ionises to make chlorate (I) ions (also called hypochlorite ions). Give the balanced symbol equation for the ionisation of chloric (I) acid
