Chlorine dissolves in water. The solution is known as chlorinated water and freshly prepared solution of chlorine water contains HCL and HOCL. Chlorine is a strong oxidising agent because hypochlorous acid is unstable and decomposes into HCL and nascent oxygen.

Why do you add chlorine into tap water?

Chlorine is added to water in order to act as a bacteriocide(kill the bugs). In water , chlorine disproportionates. That is it form a minus ion and a positive ion. Cl2 = Cl^- + Cl^+ These two ions combine with water in different ways. They form hydrochloric acid (HCl) and hypochlorous acid (HClO)(bleach). Here is the balanced chemical reaction. H2O + Cl2 = HCl + HClO. The quantity of chlorine added is so small that these two chlorine containing compounds have no effect on humans, but they do kill the bugs.
