Is the electrolysis of calcium chloride wil have Calciumhypochlorite ? The endproduct ive had has a meltingpoint of exact 100 degrees, witch calciumhypochlorite also have !

Determine the hypochlorite content, e.g. by iodometry.

Or determine Ca content, e.g. by precipitating as CaCO3 and gravimetry.

Even better: do both.

If the electrolysis is done in cold water, you should get some nice Calcium Hypochlorite. Theres other ways to make it too apparently...
