Best Answer

Table salt is a compound of sodium and chlorine. The properties of a compound are entirely different from those of its constituents. A compound cannot be separated into its constituents by physical processes. Hence, when sodium and chlorine chemically combine in a fixed proportion by mass, sodium chloride is formed which do not cause any harm.

Can you swim in pool hat has a normal chlorine level but the free chlorine level is high?

There is 3 measurements of chlorine in a pool or spa. Total chlorine, combined chlorine, and free available chlorine. Free available chlorine is the good chlorine that is active in the pool killings germs and algae. Combined chlorine is chlorine is basically chlorine that was once active but has killed germs or bacteria and is now inactive in the pool. Total chlorine is free available and combined chlorine added together. If your combined chlorine is higher than free available chlorine then the water needs to be shocked to eliminate the combined chlorine. But be careful here. If you don't reach what's called break point you will only add to the combined chlorine. There are products on the market which will only remove combined chlorine without effecting your free available chlorine if you are unsure about reaching breakpoint. Hope this helps.


Why is chlorine used in swimming pools?

Chlorine is used in swimming pools for a few reasons. The most common are: 1. Chlorine acts as a mild disinfectant, it makes swimming in the water a more sanitary activity. 2. Chlorine also inhibits the growth of algae. Without chlorine, most pools would be green within a few days.

How do the properties of sodium chloride compare with the properties of sodium and of chlorine?

Sodium chloride is a nonreactive solid at room temperature, and is commonly known as table salt. The two elements that make up sodium chloride are sodium and chlorine. Sodium is a very reactive metal that tastes bad. Pure sodium is explosive when it comes in contact with water. Chlorine is a nonreactive gas that is poisonous, and will kill you if you breathe enough of it. Sodium chloride retains neither the properties of sodium nor the properties of chlorine. This is because compounds (such as sodium chloride) have their own characteristics, and not the characteristics of its component elements.

Sodium and chlorine makes table salt which are poisonous still you eat table salt without getting poisoned explain why?

In the simplest terms, a compound has different properties from its component elements. Sodium's high reactivity is due to the fact that it has 1 valence electron which it loses easily, making it extremely reactive. It is a strong reducer. When it loses this electron it forms the sodium ion (Na+), which is stable and mostly nonreactive. Chlorine is 1 electron short of a stable valence shell of 8 electrons. It has a strong tendency to acquire another electron to form the chloride ion (Cl-), making it very reactive. It is a strong oxidizer. The chloride ion is stable and fairly nonreactive.


How do you eat poison without getting poisoned?

If you are worried about pesticide spray residues that might have sunk into apple skins then you can peel them just to be extra safe. Any pesticide residues will have stayed in the skin. Otherwise apples are not poisonous but a nutritious food eaten raw or cooked. Unless you are one of the few people allergic to them they are a great food to eat.
