An acid compound. Be very carefull: Chlorine is very VERY toxic gas.
Chlorine's mass number is 35.5. This is an average value due to the presence of two isotopes of chlorine, chlorine-35 and chlorine-37, in nature.
Free Chlorine is the Chlorine which is free to do its work in the pool, as opposed to Combined Chlorine which is chlorine that has combined with contaminants and is tied up and ineffective as a sanitizer in the pool. Sometimes you will see it abbreviated as FAC, which stands for Free Available Chlorine.
Total Chlorine = Free Chlorine + Combined Chlorineor, put another wayTotal Chlorine - Free Chlorine = Combined ChlorineFree Chlorine is the chlorine that is doing its job.Combined Chlorine is the chlorine that has combined with contaminants such as nitrogen. It is ineffective as a sanitizer and it is noxious.Total Chlorine is the total of these two levels.To eliminate the Combined Chlorine (making all the chlorine in the pool Free Chlorine) you must shock the pool to remove the contaminants. You must reach "Breakpoint Chlorination", which is the addition of chlorine to your pool equivalent to the Combined Chlorine level times 10.example:Total Chlorine = 1.5ppmFree Chlorine = 1.0ppmSo, the Combined Chlorine (the difference between the two tests) is .5ppmBreakpoint chlorination, in this example would be .5ppm X 10 = 5ppm. So, in this example, you would add enough chlorine to your pool to raise the chlorine level up by 5 parts per million.
ClF5 Is the formula for Chlorine pentaflouride.
It is possible to obtain sodium chloride from sodium and chlorine but it is pointless.
Electrolysis is commonly used to obtain chlorine from sea water. In this process, an electric current is passed through the sea water, causing the separation of the elements and allowing for the extraction of chlorine gas.
In laboratory chlorine is the product of the reaction between hydrochloric acid and manganese dioxide.
Chlorine Generators can be purchased from any major pool supply company. You can also obtain these online at pool supply stores.
To convert the number of chloride atoms to mols of chlorine atoms, simply multiply by Avogadro's number. This number is 6.022E23. Note that chlorine typically exists as a diatomic molecule, consisting of two chlorine atoms.
For example for the electrolysis of sodium chloride to obtain sodium hydroxide, hydrogen and chlorine.
An acid compound. Be very carefull: Chlorine is very VERY toxic gas.
Dichloroacetate can be obtained by chlorinating acetic acid with chlorine gas or through the reaction of acetic anhydride with chlorine in the presence of a catalyst. It can also be synthesized by reacting sodium dichloroacetate with a strong acid.
Chlorine is an element from group 17. It needs one electron from another atom to obtain the stable electron configuration. In ionic compounds it becomes the chloride ion with -1 charge.
Because of the number of electrons in their valency shells. Chlorine has 7 and so tries to obtain another. Argon has the full complement of 8 and so does not want to gain or lose one.
Sodium chloride, the chemical name of pure common table salt.
Passing electric current through solid sodium chloride - itis melted and electrolysed, forming chlorine and sodium metal.
