Question

write a chemical equation for cleaning supplies used in household items. any one would work

Answer 1

I have opted bleaching powder (liquid bleach).

When liquid bleach (NaOCl) reacts with water to produce hypochlorous acid (HOCl) and hypochlorite ions (OCl^-). When chlorine is added to water, hypochlorous acids form:
Cl₂ + H₂O -> HOCl + H⁺ + Cl^-

Depending on the pH value, hypochlorous acid partly dissociates into hypochlorite ions:
Cl₂ + 2H₂O -> HOCl + H₃O⁺ + Cl^-
HOCl + H₂O -> H₃O⁺ + OCl^-

This dissociates into chlorine and oxygen atoms:
OCl^- -> Cl^- + O

The chloride and oxygen atom (nascent atomic oxygen) are a powerful disinfectant.

Hope this helped you!
