Do chlorine compounds change the chemical properties of a pool by making it more acidic?
Chlorine is the chemical most often used to keep swimming pools and Jacuzzis free of bacteria that can be hazardous to humans. Chlorine kills bacteria though a fairly simple chemical reaction. The chlorine solution you pour into the water breaks down into many different chemicals, including hypochlorous acid (HOCl) and hypochlorite ion (OCl-). Both kill microorganisms and bacteria by attacking the lipids in the cell walls and destroying the enzymes and structures inside the cell, rendering them oxidized and harmless. The difference between HOCl and OCl- is the speed at which they oxidize. Hypochlorous acid is able to oxidize the organisms in several seconds, while the hypochlorite ion may take up to 30 minutes. The levels of HOCl and OCl- vary with the pool's pH level. If the pH is too high, not enough HOCl is present and pool cleaning can take much longer than normal. Ideally, the level of pH in the pool should be between 7 and 8; 7.4 is ideal -- this is the pH of human tears. Once the HOCl and OCl- are done cleaning the pool, they either combine with another chemical, such as ammonia, or are broken down into single atoms. Both of these processes render the chlorine harmless. Sunlight speeds these processes up. You have to keep adding chlorine to the pool as it breaks down. While the bacteria-killing properties of chlorine are very useful, chlorine also has some side effects that can be annoying to humans, and possibly even hazardous. Chlorine has a very distinctive smell that most find unpleasant, and some find overwhelming. There is also the "itch factor" -- chlorine can cause certain skin types to become itchy and irritated. The hypochlorite ion causes many fabrics to fade quickly when not rinsed off immediately after exiting the pool. This is why your swimsuit looks faded and worn so early in the summer. Extremely high amounts of chlorine gas hovering above your pool can be hazardous to your breathing. Some companies have developed alternatives to chlorine, including other chemicals and ion generators. Some of these are good alternatives, but they don't achieve the cleanliness, oxidation levels or low price that chlorine provides.
How many atoms of chlorine are in 2.00 moles of CCl4?
The number of chlorine atoms in 2,00 moles of CCl4 is 48,113.10e23.
How many energy levels does chlorine have?
Chlorine has three electron shells with 2, 8, 7 electrons.
How many electrons do chlorine oxygen and nitrogen have?
Nitrogen has 7 electrons, oxygen has 8 electrons, and chlorine has 9 electrons. That is the total electron count, for inner and outer shells. If you are only concerned with the valance electrons, then it is 5 for nitrogen, 6 for oxygen, and 7 for chlorine.
How is sodium electronic structure different to chlorine's?
Sodium has an electronic structure of 2, 8, 1 with one electron in its outermost shell, while chlorine has an electronic structure of 2, 8, 7 with seven electrons in its outermost shell. This difference in electron configuration determines their chemical properties, with sodium being a reactive metal and chlorine being a reactive nonmetal.
Will it harm you if you swim in an indoor pool with the chlorine reading 8 ppm?
No
Does the automatic salt chlorinator have to be left on continuously to increase chlorine in pool How long should it be left on?
Most pool chlorinators when properly installed need to run between 6 and 8 hours a day. If you want to increase the chlorine level in the pool without running the filters for longer just toss in some chlorine from the shop.
How long wait chlorine in pool?
I'm not sure what you mean. If your qeustion is how long do you have to wait to swim after adding chlorine, it really depends. If you're adding chlorine to bring the level up to 2.0 or 3.0ppm, then wait minimum 1 hour before swimming, and be sure the filter is on. If you're shocking the pool and bringing the level up to 10-12ppm, you need to wait until the pool reaches a safe level as stated above.
How long to wait after putting lots of chlorine in a pool?
The maximum chlorine that a public pool can have in it and be open for use is 7.0 ppm. You could wait for it to come down on it's own or you can use a declor to bring it down. This is the rule for the state of Indiana deptartment of health.
How do you use chlorine tabs?
For an above ground pool such as a summer escapes pool by pool poly, fill the inside of your filter with tabs. Approx. 8-10 tabs. Replace basket and place back into pump. Turn on pump and let it run.
How do you keep bacteria out of a 8 x 30 vinyl pool?
You have to use some form of sanitation. Easiest and less expensive being chlorine.
Is the salt content in seawater enough to kill bacteria like chlorine in swimming pools?
Yes. Many people are actually swithching from chlorine to salt water pool filters, although the water is only about 1/8 of what the ocean is, it is easier and cheaper than chlorine.
How often does a pump need to run in order to maintain chlorine level with a chlorine generator?
Summertime = depending on your system = 8 -12 minimum and could be as much as 18 hrs. daily. Start at 8 hrs. - if that will not maintain water clarity boost in one hour increments until clarity is achieved. By "clarity" I mean being able to nearly read a quarter when it is at the bottom of the deepest end of the pool. Along with boosted run time, you also have to maintain chlorine and pH levels either manually or mechanically Ken.
I have dirty green pool water how do I clean it up if I never owned a pool before?
Pour in a gallon jug of algecide and increase the amount of chlorine you use and run your pool's filter at least 6 to 8 hrs a night. Will clear up in a day. Of course this info depends on size of pool, but the average 16,000 gallon pool will clear up.
Just filled your pool 18000 g of fresh tap water what to do next?
first after pool has been filled up add about eight (8) pounds of stableizer/conditioner to water by sprinkling directly in to water wait one day for this to blend in.next day add three(3) pounds of granulated chlorine to water,then put in two(2) tablets of chlorine in a floater wait half a day before swimming.monitor your chlorine and pH with a test kit.finally for every pound of chlorine you add to your pool wait one (1) hour before swimming
Is it OK to wear gold in chlorine swimming pools?
If it's pure gold, it won't be harmed by any chemicals in the pool water. But if it's just gold plated, especially with copper, the chlorine could cause a greenish tarnish on the "gold" item and the skin contacting the "gold." But even then, it would probably take 8 - 12 hours in the pool water before the green tarnish would start to form, and how many people spend 8 - 12 hours in a pool at any one time?
How many hours of sun per day do swimming pool solar panels need?
That depends on how clean your water is now. Most people run their filter around about 8 hours, however if your water is satisfactorily clean and you are having no particular trouble maintaining free chlorine levels you may be able to reduce it. If you have a salt water pool there is a minimum amount of time that the pool needs to be run in order to produce enough chlorine this depends on the size chlorinator an or pool.
