You can just add a drop of fish tank treatment to the bowl instead, it is sold anywhere that sells fish supplies. 24 hours is too long. Get a chlorine remover remedy from a fish store and put a drop or two in the new water. Let it sit for maybe an hour or two to get it to room temperature. Then it will be ready.

Why do chemicals change how drinks evaporate?

Because different chemicals have different temperatures at which they evaporate, so having a mixture of different chemicals would mean that they would all evaporate at different times depending on the surroundings. So if you add chemicals to a drink you may be adding a chemical that evaporates at a different temperature and therefore changing how that drink evaporates!

Can I add acids to chlorine?

Well, if you mean chlorine gas (an element) adding an acid (which would usually require bubbling it through the acid) won't do much in most cases (but could depend on the specific acid).But, if you mean chlorine bleach (the compound sodium hypochlorite) adding an acid to it generates toxic chlorine gas.The simple answer is yes you can, but the smart and safe answer depends on which kind of "chlorine" you mean, where you are doing it, and if you want to generate toxic products or not. I definitely recommend against adding acids to household chlorine bleach!
