Potassium chloride, a table salt substitute, has the simple chemical formula KCl. It consists
of one potassium atom combined with one chlorine atom. It might seem easy to react
potassium and chlorine to form potassium chloride. While that does work, as will be shown,
there are easier ways to prepare potassium chloride.

Become familiar with oxidation-reduction reactions.

Potassium hypochlorite reacts with sodium arsenite in the presence of alkali, in this
fashion:

KClO + NaAsO₂ +NaOH ' KCl + Na₂HAsO₄

The potassium hypochlorite is reduced, and the sodium arsenite is oxidized. The
chlorine goes from a ⁺1 to a ⁻1 state. In gaining electrons, the chlorine has been reduced.
The arsenic loses electrons. It has been oxidized.
