How much heavier than air is chlorine gas?
Chlorine is about 2.7 times denser than air.
What are the symptoms of chlorine poisoning?
"The health effects resulting from most chlorine exposures begin within seconds to minutes. The severity of the signs and symptoms caused by chlorine will vary according to amount, route and duration of exposure. Inhalation: Most chlorine exposures occur via inhalation. Low level exposures to chlorine in air will cause eye/skin/airway irritation, sore throat and cough. Chlorine's odor provides adequate early warning of its presence, but also causes olfactory fatigue or adaptation, reducing awareness of one's prolonged exposure at low concentrations. At higher levels of exposure, signs and symptoms may progress to chest tightness, wheezing, dyspnea, and bronchospasm. Severe exposures may result in noncardiogenic pulmonary edema, which may be delayed for several hours. Ingestion: Since chlorine is a gas at room temperature, it is unlikely that a severe exposure will result from ingestion. However, ingestion of chlorine dissolved in water (e.g., sodium hypochlorite or household bleach) will cause corrosive tissue damage of the gastrointestinal tract. Eye/Dermal Contact: Low level exposures to chlorine gas will cause eye and skin irritation. Higher exposures may result in severe chemical burns or ulcerations. Exposure to compressed liquid chlorine may cause frostbite of the skin and eyes." as seen on http://www.health.state.ny.us/environmental/emergency/chemical_terrorism/chlorine_tech.htm
Is there chlorine in air?
There is some chlorine in the air; chlorine is used as an antibacterial agent in processing drinking water, as well as pool water, and it gradually evaporates into the air. However the concentration in the atmosphere is extremely low. Since chlorine is a very active chemical, it doesn't build up in the air, it reacts with various chemicals that it randomly encounters in the environment.
Temperature in the air is increased by the process of moisture condensation?
Yes, temperature in the air has more moisture content . Due to the condensation of particles in the humidity liberates the particle which has high heat particles which increases the temperature.
Why air is a compound?
Air is not a compound, because its chemical composition varies with time and place. Air is a mixture instead.
Why is it called chlorogenic acid and does it generate chlorine?
Chlorogenic acid has nothing to do with chlorine. Basically greek work "chloros" means green. The nomenclature of this compound is derived because of its solution color. Chlorogenic acid is derived from GREEN coffee beans, alkaline solutions turn GREEN upon exposure to air. lamely put "green color"- "genic" producing. Chlorine is also derived from the same greek work. Chlorine is a green gas and hence related to chloros. Similarly chlorophyll and chlorite.
How much percentage does chlorine have in the air?
There is no significant amount of chlorine in the composition of air. If chlorine is released into the air, because it is more dense than air, it tends to collect near the ground.
How much heavier than air is chlorine gas?
Chlorine is about 2.7 times denser than air.
How does oxygen enters the body?
Oxygen enters the body by being absorbed into the blood (specifically, it is absorbed by red blood cells which contain an oxygen-carrying compound known as hemoglobin) when air is inhaled into the lungs, which have a highly porous, spongy structure which facilitates the exposure of blood to the air.
How did Pasteur solve limiting exposure to air?
he used s neck valves, cutting off exposure to microorganisms, not air

What is the mass of the air in the exosphere?
the mass of air in the Exposure =4.09
What is impact of the use of chlorine on human health and the environment?
Breathing small amounts of chlorine for short periods of time adversely affects the human respiratory system. Effects differ from coughing and chest pain, to water retention in the lungs. Chlorine irritates the skin, the eyes, and the respiratory system. These effects are not likely to occur at levels of chlorine that are normally found in the environment. Chlorine dissolves when mixed with water. It can also escape from water and enter air under certain conditions. Most direct releases of chlorine to the environment are to air and to surface water. Once in air or in water, chlorine reacts with other chemicals. It combines with inorganic material in water to form chloride salts, and with organic material in water to form chlorinated organic chemicals. Because of its reactivity chlorine is not likely to move through the ground and enter groundwater. Plants and animals are not likely to store chlorine. However, laboratory studies show that repeat exposure to chlorine in air can affect the immune system, the blood, the heart, and the respiratory system of animals. Chlorine causes environmental harm at low levels. Chlorine is especially harmful to organisms living in water and in soil.

How do you take care of cat after exposure to chlorine?
You likely need to take him to the vet, especially if she drank it or walked in it. If she got chlorine on her fur, liberally rinse her with clear water. Make sure to grab the scruff of her neck and try to avoid getting scratched. Remove her collar and rinse under it; wash the collar before reattaching. If he inhaled chlorine, provide plenty of fresh air. Seeing a vet is important.
