Substances only have a pH when they are dissolved in water. Because pH is a value describing the proportion of H+ and OH- ions in a solution. That's why when you test for the acidity of a gas, you use damp indicator paper so the gas dissolves in the distilled water in the paper. ^um no they cant did you not take science or something cause we are learning that now!

How Does chlorine Affect Acidity levels?
Depends on the type of chlorine you are using as each type of chlorine product has it's own pH level. i.e Liquid chlorine (sodium hypochlorite) has a natural pH of about 14. Trichlo products have a pH of about 3 Dichlor products have a pH of about 6.8 Gas Chlorine has a pH of <1 So based on the above lets say you are using liquid chlorine in a concrete pool, the pH will tend to be high (alkaline) due to the high pH of the chlorine product coupled with the fact the pool is concrete.
What happens when you mix chlorine with water?
If you mix chlorine gas with water like in a gas attack. It turns into Hydrocloric acid with a pH of 0 (pH 1 if diluted) So I wouldn't really do that +++ I would really not want to handle chlorine at all! It is a very corrosive and toxic gas. If you are referring to chlorine bleach or disinfectant that does not react in the same way.
Why is pool Ph low and chlorine high though you have not put chlorine in for weeks?
Do you have a chlorine generator? No.
Does chlorine affect alkalinity?
Chlorine will indeed affect alkalinity. It will lower the alkalinity. If you add chlorine gas to water, it will create hypochlorous acid and hydrochloric acid. Cl2 + H2O <-> HCl + HOCl Sodium Hypochlorite (Bleach) will do the opposite and raise pH.
How is chlorine gas turned into liquid chlorine?
Chlorine gas is liquefied by cooling and pressurizing it.

What is the pH of chlorine?
The pH of chlorine is 12.5
Does chlorine gas react with cold water?
Yes. Chlorine gas reacts with water to give hypochlorous acid and hydrochloric acid Cl2 + H2O -> HOCl + HCl The hypochlorous acid is the "disinfectant" most effective at pH 5, at low pH it forms hypochlorite ions. Remember if the water is impure the chlorine can potentially react with the impurities.

What is the the state of chlorine?
Chlorine is a gas
Chlorine gas is a diatomic molecule Cl2. There are 6.00 mol of chlorine atoms in a sample of chlorine gas. How many moles of chlorine gas is this?
there are 6 molecules of chlorine gas
When opening a pool is it better to the pH or the chlorine right first?
Adjusting the chlorine content will almost certainly affect the pH, so it would be simpler to get the chlorine level correct first and then titrate to the proper pH.
Will shocking with chlorine make PH go up?
yes, and the pH can go up significantly depending on what type of chlorine used for shocking. Liquid chlorine (sodium hypochlorite) will cause the PH to increase at a higher rate than that of granular chlorine (such as calcium hypochlorite)
Is chlorine gas a compound?
No. Chlorine gas is 100% chlorine and nothing else.
Why is pool Ph low and chlorine high though you have not put chlorine in for weeks?
Do you have a chlorine generator? No.
Does chlorine lower PH in the pool?
No
What is pH of pool chlorine?
11.
