Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Chlorous acid is a chemical compound with the formula HClO2. It is a weak acid. Chlorine possesses oxidation state +3 in this acid. The pure substance is unstable, disproportionating to hypochlorous acid (Cl oxidation state +1) and chloric acid (Cl oxidation state +5). 2HClO2(aq) -> HClO(aq) + HClO3(aq). Chlorite salts such as sodium chlorite are stable conjugate bases derived from this acid. These salts are sometimes used in the production of chlorine dioxide.
