Result of bleach+tartaric acid >>> ?

[Emmanuel_Euler]

Hello Everyone
Please can you tell me what is the result of this reaction??
NaClO+C4H6O6>>>
NOTE:This is not a homework,i did this simple reaction yesterday.

Off the top of your head, what do think may happen? Did you observe any evidence for a reaction?

Could imagine some oxidation of the OH groups to ketone followed by decarboxylation.

 

[James Pelezo]

This is a double replacement (metathesis) reaction with the driving force being a weak acid Hypochlorous Acid formed by hypochlorite ion (ClO^-) extracting one of the Hydrogens from the Tartic Acid giving Sodium Hydrogen Tartrate. (K_a(HClO) = 3.5 x 10^-8 @ 25^oC)

NaClO(aq) + H₂C₄H₄O₆(aq) => NaHC₄H₄O₆(aq) + HClO(aq)

 

[Borek]

That's definitely a first step, but I am with DrDu - some oxidation can happen.
