Technically no. Your total chlorine reading would include all forms of chlorine, which we tend to lump into to basic categories, Free and combined. If you get readings that show that the free amount is higher then total, I would suggest a retest. If you are still getting the same result, I would try another test or different reagents. I'm sure there might be something that could give you false results and that might be what id happening in this case.
Actually it can happen because it happened to me today i saw it happen that the free chlorine was 2.49 and after the 2 minute waiting period the test was 0.33 and the sample was visibly less pink than when the DPD 1 was tested, there has to be some reason for this or some way to fix it as if we are using the same reagents for other samples and it is working for those then this must mean that there is something wrong with the water i a, testing and not the tablets i am testing with!
The total reading after time will drop if the residual level is high enough and there is not enough DPD. Hach recommends for using a 5 ml sample instead of 10 ml and 2 power pillows instead of 1. This gives four times the DPD to do the analysis. With very high levels you can see a flash of dark color and then go to clear as the chlorine bleaches the color from the DPD. The addition of extra DPD overcomes the bleaching effect.

What is the scientific name of chlorine?
Chlorine comes from the Greek word 'χλωρóς' khlôros, meaning 'pale green'Chlorine is the common name used. the symbol is Cland the atomic number is 17.
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.
Does chlorine reacts with acid to form toxic chlorine gas?
Yes, when chlorine gas reacts with an acid, such as hydrochloric acid, it can form toxic chlorine gas. The reaction releases chlorine gas, which can be harmful if inhaled in high concentrations. It is important to handle chlorine gas and acids with caution to prevent the formation of toxic gases.
A chlorine atom has how many electrons in its outermost shell?
If you mean how many electrons are required for an atom of chlorine to have no charge, the answer is 17 as chlorine has an atomic of 17 so therefore has 17 protons. These protons have a positive charge so it requires 17 negatively charged electrons in order to "balance" the atom.
What does chlorine mean?
Chlorine is an element, Cl on the Periodic Table. So, What does chlorine mean? It is the proper name of the element, Chlorine. It is often used for sanitizing water, as it kills small microbes (harmful and otherwise). With respect to Swimming Pools, it comes in various forms: Tablet Chlorine (Usually Trichlor) Liquid Shock (Sodium Hypochlorite: Chlorine gas suspended in salt water) and Granular shock (can be either Calcium Hypochlorite, or Sodium Dichlor, most commonly)
What happens when chlorine is exposed to sunlight?
Do you mean elemental chlorine, or the "chlorine" that's used in swimming pools?Sunlight can break down swimming pool "chlorine". For that matter, it can break down elemental chlorine also, into two chlorine free radicals, which are much more reactive than elemental chlorine (which is, itself, kinda reactive). Sunlight can cause a mixture of elemental chlorine and elemental hydrogen to explode.Free radical chlorine is serious business. It's one of the prime culprits in the degradation of the Earth's ozone layer.

Is chlorine simple?
Chlorine is anything but simple. Just kidding, I have no idea what you mean.
What does it mean if the chlorine test turns orange - What does it mean?
If the chlorine test turns orange, it may indicate a low chlorine level in the water. This could mean that the water is not well sanitized and may not be safe for swimming or other uses that require proper disinfection. It's important to address this issue by adding more chlorine to bring the levels up to the appropriate range.
Should you run the pump if the chlorine level is too high?
That depnds on what you mean by "too high". Your chlorine shouldn't be higher than a regular shock, about 10-12ppm, unless you have a really bad green algae bloom that required chlorine up to 25ppm. Even at 15-20ppm for chlorine your pool pump should be fine.
How correlation between brix and total sugar?
Brix measures total dissolved solids while Total sugar is only a measure of sugar content. Higher sugar content will raise the brix measurement, but higher brix measurement does not always mean there is a higher sugar content.
