Ordinary salt is a compound formed from sodium and chlorine.
What else can I help you with?
Can you have a salt water hot tub and a chlorine pool without cross contamination?
You cannot "contaminate" a chlorine pool or spa with salt or vice versa. Chlorine starts as salt. Chlorine generators use salt to make chlorine. Therefore your "salt" spa is already a chlorine spa, you are just not putting chlorine tablets in it. It is a very common misconception that a salt system is some how different than a chlorine system. There are no "salt generators" and the salt does nothing other than allow a "chlorine generator" to produce chlorine. We get this question almost every day and it's generally because customers are "sold" not "told" about the product they purchased. If you were expecting anything other than purchasing a device that makes chlorine from salt, you will be disappointed. Pool & Spa
Why is salt an compound?
Salt is a compound becasue it is made up of two different elements, sodium and chlorine.
Does the chlorine in salt differ from swimming pool chlorine?
The chlorine in salt is combined, as in the compund sodium chloride, or potassium chloride, as the chloride ion with a negative charge of one, having gained an electron in the outer shell of its atom. The chlorine in a swimming pool is elemental gaseous chlorine, which is a very different substance with entirely different phsycial and chemical properties.
What halogen is in table salt?
Chlorine
What better salt system or chlorine?
A salt system makes chlorine, that's what its there for.
What sizes do salt water pool pumps come in?
They are two different things . The salt chlorine generator is seperate from the pool pump .
Is salt made from different atoms joined together?
yes ..... sodium atoms and chlorine atoms.
How do you convert a chlorine pool to a salt water pool?
Converting to a salt water pool requires the installation of a chlorine generator, and the salt for the pool water. Salt water pool are in fact chlorine pools the difference lays in the fact that chlorine is produced by running salt water through electrodes that in turn releases chlorine from the salt which is usually Sodium chloride (common salt) It may pay to also look at A new more environmentally friendly and healthier alternative By looking at Magnesium and potassium chloride salts.
Which element is in table salt?
Table salt (sodium chloride, NaCl) contain sodium and chlorine. _________________________ Table salt is sodium chloride; one atom of sodium with one atom of chlorine. Funny how an explosive metal bound to a poisonous gas turns out to be essential to life.
How are sodium and chlorine ions different from salt molecules?
Sodium and chlorine ions are individual atoms that have gained or lost electrons to become electrically charged. When they combine in a 1:1 ratio to form sodium chloride (salt) molecules, they are held together by ionic bonds. Salt molecules are made up of one sodium ion and one chlorine ion bonded together, while sodium and chlorine ions exist independently when not combined in a salt molecule.
What element is combined with chlorine in common salt?
Common salt, or table salt is sodium chloride, so you would combine sodium with chlorine.
Can I Mix salt in a chlorine pool?
Yes, you can add salt to a chlorine pool to create a saltwater pool system. This salt is converted into chlorine through the process of electrolysis, providing a more natural and softer water experience compared to traditional chlorine pools. Be sure to follow manufacturer instructions for the appropriate salt levels and use a saltwater generator to convert the salt into chlorine.
