Q:

Separating NaClO from its aqueous form in bleach

I was wondering, can I separate the $\ce{NaClO}$ from the $\ce{H2O}$ in bleach. The decomposition point for $\ce{NaClO}$ is $374.14\ \mathrm{K}$, so I'm risking decomposing the compound if I do simple distillation. 
What should I do?

PS: I don't have a vacuum pump.

A:

Sodium hypochlorite, $\ce{NaClO}$, is unstable and can't be separated from the water in which you usually find it without it decomposing.
That's the short answer.  To learn more about it check Wikipedia for sodium hypochlorite.
