Cool. Very interesting. If I get this right, the metallic sodium combines with the oxygen from the water - it "burns", sort of.

So bleach is partly transformed sodium metal? What percentage of bleach do you think is the metal or sodium? Is it proportioned according to equal nos of atoms at their individual masses?

Salt starts as sodium chloride, the sodium already "burned"-"combined" with chlorine because it's unstable.

Electricity separated off the chlorine, water mixed in allowed the sodium to pick up an oxy, and then they let the chlorine back in.

?

Jeez, that's pretty sneaky.

No wonder they keep it a secret.
