Why does a salt water pool smell like chlorine?

A salt water pool does not actually smell like chlorine. The smell comes from chloramines, which are compounds produced when chlorine combines with contaminants in the water. Salt water pools use a chlorine generator to create chlorine from salt, but should have lower levels of chloramines compared to traditional chlorine pools.


Why chlorine is not much soluble in water?

Chlorine is not very soluble in water because chlorine is a nonpolar molecule and water is a polar solvent. Polar solvents like water are not very effective at dissolving nonpolar substances like chlorine. Additionally, the lack of strong intermolecular forces between chlorine molecules and water molecules limits the solubility of chlorine in water.


What does not react with chlorine?

Elements like noble gases (e.g. helium, neon, argon) do not react with chlorine due to their stable electronic configurations. Additionally, elements like gold and platinum are also unreactive with chlorine.


Why do bleaching powder smell strongly like chlorine?

Bleaching powder, also known as calcium hypochlorite, releases chlorine gas when it reacts with water. The strong smell comes from this chlorine gas being released, which is reminiscent of the smell of chlorine in swimming pools.


Is chlorine hard?

Chlorine itself is not hard; it is a chemical element in the periodic table with the atomic number 17. However, chlorine is often available in the form of chlorine gas or chlorine compounds, like bleach, which are more commonly associated with their cleaning and disinfecting properties.
