How does the addition of chlorine to the pool water change its osmolarity?

In simplest terms adding any solute to will increase the osmolarity of the solution. Omolarity is a measure of the the number of moles of a solute that will contribute to the osmotic pressure of the solution per unit of volume.
In a swimming pool chlorine is usually added in the form of Calcium hypochlorite or a similar salt. However normally the salt is added at about 2ppm (parts per million). This corresponds to a concentration of about 14 nanomolar. As both Calcium and hypochlorite ions contribute to osmotic pressure this means that the total osmolarity is 28 nano-osmoles per litre. This is not very much when compared to the osmolarity of cells and extracellular fluid - about 290 mOsm/l.

What colour does universal indicator change to if chlorine water is added?
Bright red and the colourless
Is chlorine soluble in water?
Yes, chlorine is soluble in water.
How does chlorine explode when mixed with water?
Chlorine doesn't explode when mixed with water. Pool water has chlorine in it. I think you meant sodium mixed with water, which does explode.
How can chlorine levels register 0 to dark orange with the addition of a little liquid chlorine?
Do you mean that adding a little chlorine made the reading go from 0 to a higher level? You should shock your pool once a week with 1L of liquid chlorine per 10000L of water in your pool. You need to add enough chlorine to break apart the combine chlorine (the combination of chlorine and dirt which doesn't sanitize.) If you don't add enough at once, it will be used up and the chlorine reading will remain low.
Chlorine is often used in water purification to do what?
Chlorine is added to water to kill pathogens.
Does water flow from Low Osmolarity to High Osmolarity?
yes, water flows from low osmolarity to high osmolarity when two solutiona are separated by a semi-permeable membrane till the solutions on either side of the membrane attains equal osmolarity.
What is breakpoint chlorination?
Break point chlorination refers to the continuous addition of chlorine to the water until the chlorine enquiry is met and all present ammonia is oxidized. Once the break point is reached, only free chlorine remains.
Connection between plasma osmolarity and total body water in mathematical equation terms?
Plasma Osmolarity =Total Body mOsm - Urine mOs-------------------------------------Total Body Water - Urine Volumeand: Total Body Osmolarity = PLasma Osmolarity x Weight x 0.6 Total Body Water = Weigth x 0.6
Does drinking water have chlorine?
Yes. Chlorine is an addition to drinking water supplies to help kill bacteria. It is not necessary for the water to be drinkable but the chlorine stops many diseases from spreading and so for general public healt it is common practice. There have been a great many studies done about whether or not the addition of chlorine to drinking water causes birth defects or other health-related problems.
What purpose does the addition of chlorine to drinking water serve?
Kills microorganisms in the water, preventing the spread of disease.
Is there any chlorine in usual water?
In the USA, addition of Chlorine to the water during purification is a common practice. Most people who keep tropical fish will store water in an open container for several days prior to adding it to their fish tanks. This allows the Chlorine to dissipate.
Which hormone is released to preserve water when serum osmolarity increases?
ADH
How is chloride used in everyday life?
Chloride is the ion, Cl-. There is chloride in sodium chloride, which is salt. In addition, bleach contains chlorine. The water in a pool also has chlorine.
How do A.D.H and R.A.A.S work together in maintaining osmoregulatory homeostasis?
ADH monitors appropriate osmolarity by reabsorption of water, and RAAS maintains osmolarity by stimulating Na+ reabsorption.
What is the pH of WFI?
WFI water has a pH of 5.5 - 6. The osmolarity is 0.
What kind of change occurs when salt dissolves in water chemical or physical?
Dissolution, meaning dissolving into a liquid form. It is a chemical reaction that begins with water covering a corner of the salt. The corner chlorine starts to leave the crystal and water bonds form. As the chlorine leaves more water molecules are left behind. The chlorine becomes fully solvated then the salt does the same.
What is breaking point?
Break point chlorination refers to the continuous addition of chlorine to the water until the chlorine enquiry is met and all present ammonia is oxidized. Once the break point is reached, only free chlorine remains.
