Does Mixing Chlorine Dioxide Drops Turn the Solution Yellow-Brown and Smell Like Chlorine?
Yes, when you mix the drops from the Chlorine Dioxide Drops should turn yellow or amber and have a chlorine-like smell. This is a normal reaction that shows the chlorine dioxide is being produced, even if you mix just one drop of each solution.
The color and smell happen because the sodium chlorite and hydrochloric acid in the drops combine to create chlorine dioxide gas. With just one drop of each, you’ll still notice the yellow-brown tint and chlorine-like odor, though it may be less strong than with larger amounts.
