depending on the volume of chlorine you put in your pool. Chlorination or simply the adding of chlorine to water is extensively used in many water treatment facilities primarily to disinfect or kill harmful microorganisms, such as bacteria.
Add sodium bicarb to raise pH. Chlorine will go down by itself or add sodium thiosulfate
Chlorine will indeed affect alkalinity. It will lower the alkalinity. If you add chlorine gas to water, it will create hypochlorous acid and hydrochloric acid. Cl2 + H2O <-> HCl + HOCl Sodium Hypochlorite (Bleach) will do the opposite and raise pH.
Ammonia, which is basic, would raise pH. Vinegar, coffee and lemon juice are all acidic and would cause pH to be lower.
Depends on the type of chlorine you are using as each type of chlorine product has it's own pH level. i.e Liquid chlorine (sodium hypochlorite) has a natural pH of about 14. Trichlo products have a pH of about 3 Dichlor products have a pH of about 6.8 Gas Chlorine has a pH of <1 So based on the above lets say you are using liquid chlorine in a concrete pool, the pH will tend to be high (alkaline) due to the high pH of the chlorine product coupled with the fact the pool is concrete.
it goes back to normal
raise!
Raise pH
No
Liquid chlorine raises the pH since liquid (sodium hypochloride) tablet or granular (calcium hypochloride) are basically alkaline, continued use increases the pH above 7.6. to counteract this an acid must be used.
Raise
I'm a chemist waste water operator and we use caustic soda to raise pH levels and sulfuric acid to lower pH levels
Add sodium bicarb to raise pH. Chlorine will go down by itself or add sodium thiosulfate
True because it is an acid, which is, on the pH scale, pH 1-6. Once merged with water, it will lower pH to about pH 4-5; and raise substance levels.
No, they lower it. Coke PH is 2.5.
use potash or bicarb to raise Ph and use acid to lower pH
Chlorine will indeed affect alkalinity. It will lower the alkalinity. If you add chlorine gas to water, it will create hypochlorous acid and hydrochloric acid. Cl2 + H2O <-> HCl + HOCl Sodium Hypochlorite (Bleach) will do the opposite and raise pH.
