is bleach an acid or a base?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Bleach is a solution of NaClO. It is a salt of a strong base NaOH and a weak acid HClO, so its solution is alkaline. However, the bleaching properties are due to atomic oxygen being released from the hypochlorite anion

OpenStudy (chmvijay):

bleach are usually strong base

OpenStudy (abb0t):

Yeah. It contains a combination of a few bases. So yes, a strong base.
