Is chlorine a fluid?

Chlorine, as a free element, is a gas at room temperature. Chlorine can be compressed or cooled to a liquid. Its normal boiling point is below 100°C.In pool shock, chlorine is combined as an ion with oxygen, calcium, and other elements. In this form it is an ionic crystal. It dissociates to Cl- ion in water.


In what reaction can element and a compound can usually be combined?

ammonia and chlorine to form ammonium chlorine, 8NH3 + 3Cl2 ---> 6NH4Cl + N2


What do you do when your total chlorine is high and your free chlorine is low?

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.
