Lejía: bleach. Puede ser hidróxido sódico (sosa cáustica) o hidróxido potásico (potasa cáustica). Muy técnico para ser de uso común, así que mejor queda en lejía

Mmmm perdón que te corrija, pero la lavandina es hipoclorito de sodio y la fórmula es NaClO.
La soda cáustica es hidróxido de sodio y la fórmula es NaOH.

Si en inglés es bleach, entonces lejía = lavandina.

Las fórmulas son muy técnicas pero evitan malentendidos!!
Justo te cruzaste con una bióloga Julio ;-)
Gracias!

Los dos tienen razón. El Cloro reacciona con hidróxido de sodio para formar un hipoclorito sódico (lejía)

The defense rests your honor !!!!

Hebe y Verónica

Gracias por sus comentarios. Lo único que puedo agregar es que es en estos foros donde uno aprende sobre este tipo de detalles.

Saludos
Julio

No sé la fórmula exacta de la lejía, pero lo que sí os puedo decir es que es un producto de limpieza que se utiliza sobre todo para desinfectar.

Yo lo uso para limpiar los baños (wc) y los suelos.

En los supermercados y tiendas todo el mundo lo llama lejía. Por tanto, si en España pedís hipoclorito de sodio o hidróxido de sodio en las tiendas nadie (o prácticamente nadie) os entendería, por eso se llama comunmente lejía.

Un saludo.

Default Lejía

I agree with Verónica on the fact that technical language is more accurate than everyday language.

However, I agree with Krake on the fact that it is impossible to speak in technical language for informal contexts.

En Mexico, nombramos lejia a una solucion de agua y cenizas de madera. Normalmente se utiliza en la fabricacion de jabon agregandole grasa.

Creo que lejía es un sinónimo de lavandina. En la Argentina usamos comúnmente esta última.
