Do you mean elemental chlorine, or the "chlorine" that's used in Swimming Pools?
Sunlight can break down swimming pool "chlorine". For that matter, it can break down elemental chlorine also, into two chlorine free radicals, which are much more reactive than elemental chlorine (which is, itself, kinda reactive). Sunlight can cause a mixture of elemental chlorine and elemental hydrogen to explode.
Free radical chlorine is serious business. It's one of the prime culprits in the degradation of the Earth's ozone layer.

What happens when chlorine water is exposed to sunlight?
When chlorine water is exposed to sunlight, it can undergo a reaction that produces hydrochloric acid and oxygen gas. This reaction is a form of photochemical decomposition, where the energy from sunlight breaks down the chlorine water into its constituent elements.
What happens to chlorine water on standing in the absence of sunlight?
Without sunlight, chlorine in water will slowly dissipate through evaporation, reacting with organic matter or forming chloramines. This process can take longer compared to when exposed to sunlight, as the degradation of chlorine is accelerated by UV radiation.
What gas is evolved when chlorine is passed into water and subsequently exposed to sunlight?
Oxygen gas is evolved when chlorine is passed into water and subsequently exposed to sunlight, which causes the chlorine to react with water, releasing oxygen and forming hypochlorous acid.
What products are formed when chlorine is exposed to sunlight?
chlorine water + sunlight gives chlorine and oxygen in normal STP conditions .
What happens when cicuit breakers ae exposed to sunlight?
Nothing happens when circuit breakers are exposed to sunlight. They still work just as they are supposed to work.
What products are formed when chlorine water is exposed to sunlight?
When chlorine water is exposed to sunlight, it can produce a mixture of chemicals including hypochlorous acid, hydrochloric acid, and oxygen. In the presence of organic matter, additional byproducts such as chloroform and other disinfection byproducts may also form.
Does chlorine evaporate out of water?
Yes, chlorine can evaporate out of water over time, especially when the water is exposed to air or sunlight.
Why chlorine water when exposed to direct sunlight forms a hydrochloric acid?
When chlorine water is exposed to direct sunlight, it undergoes a photochemical reaction that produces free radicals like chlorine atoms. These radicals react with water to form hydrochloric acid and hypochlorous acid. The hydrochloric acid is produced as a result of the chlorine radicals combining with water molecules.
What happens when rubber is exposed to sunlight?
i think it burns after a while
What happens when a camera is exposed to sunlight for an extended period of time?
If it is exposed to sunlight while being in excessive heat it can damage the internals of the camera.
What gas can explode?
Flourine (with hydrogen, even in the cold and dark), also Chlorine (when exposed to sunlight with hydrogen)
How do you get rid of the chlorine odor from backwash?
Chlorine in water will dissipate if left exposed to the air and sunlight for a while e.g to get rid of chlorine in bucket of water leave it standing out in the sun for a while.
