to sterilise (kills bacteria) water, eg. in Swimming Pools and in water treatment. Also in the manufacture of PVC.
Sodium ion has one electron to give, and chlorine ion needs one electron to fill its outer shell. Through ionic bonding, sodium donates its electron to chlorine, forming a stable sodium chloride molecule.
Chlorine is a chemical element that is not made by humans but is found naturally in the Earth's crust and in seawater. However, most of the chlorine used in industry is produced from brine or by electrolysis of salt water.
Chlorine gas reacts with water to give hypochlorous acid and hydrochloric acid
There is one atom in Hydrogen and one atom in Chlorine. All elements are composed of only one atom.
1 additional electron will give chlorine 8 in the valence. You can see in the Periodic table, that Chlorine is next to Argon ( 1 to the left of it) so it needs 1 more electron to have the same configuration as Argon.
One, but there is a catch. One magnesium atom will combine with two chlorine atoms to make magnesium chloride (MgCl2). The magnesium will give one electron to eachof two chlorine atoms to create this metal salt.
Sodium ion has one electron to give, and chlorine ion needs one electron to fill its outer shell. Through ionic bonding, sodium donates its electron to chlorine, forming a stable sodium chloride molecule.
chlorine is used as disinfactant and as a chelating agent
A chemical difference is that sodium reacts with water to make an alkali, and chlorine plus water give acids. A physical difference is that sodium is a solid at room temperature and chlorine is a gas.
yes
I do. Use half as much. Pool chlorine is 12.5% sodium hypochlorite Laundry bleach that I use is 6% sodium hypochlorite. Sometimes I dilute the pool chlorine by one part water to one part pool chlorine and use it just like regular laundry bleach.
Chlorine is used in the process of cleaning water before its available for human consumption. It kills the bacteria in the water that can cause diseases.
To produce one ton of chlorine gas, it requires about 1.65 tons of sodium chloride (NaCl). This is because the molar mass of sodium chloride is about 58.44 g/mol, and one mole of NaCl produces one mole of chlorine gas.
It depends on how you are adding the chlorine. As elemental chlorine, you would need around 40000 ounces of water to one of chlorine; as hypochlorite (the main ingredient in chlorine bleaches, which are usually 5%) you might only use 200 ounces of water to one ounce of bleach.
Chlorine has been used to disinfect pools for over one hundred years. Chlorine is used in almost all pools that are open to the public. In addition, most private pool owners, as well as many spa owners, use chlorine in order to keep their pool water clean and safe.
One Tablespoon of chlorine bleach per gallon of water will give you 200 parts per million PPM. Health Department requires 50 PPM.
Chlorine is not a time zone.
