Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Bleach is a chemical compound with the chemical formula NaClO (sodium hypochlorite. Sodium hypochlorite is a strong base. Hydronium ion (also called hydroxonium ion) (H₃O⁺) or hydrogen ion (H⁺) is the positive ion released when an acid is dissolved in water while hydroxide ion (OH⁻) is the negative ion released when a base is dissolved in water. Hence, since bleach is a strong base, it will have a higher concentration of hydroxide ion released in water.
