Is bleach a mixture or a pure substance?
Bleach is a mixture. It is typically made up of water and sodium hypochlorite as the active ingredient, along with other additives such as surfactants and fragrances.
Are fumes from bleach flammable?
No. Chlorine gas (though deadly) is non-flammable. However, fumes from chlorine bleach are not chlorine gas. Chlorine gas is Cl2 and is deadly but does not exist in nature, it must be manufactured. Evaporating bleach (NaOCl) generally fumes off oxygen and leaves NaCl (salt). None of these elements are flammable.
