Chlorine gas is bubbled through the water, where it combines with the water to form hypochlorous acid (HOCl) and hydrochloric acid (HCl).

How is sodium hydroxide and chlorine used to make bleach?

Bleach consists of chlorine gas dissolved in an alkali-solution, such as sodium hydroxide (NaOH). When chlorine is dissolved in an alkalic solution, hypochlorite ions (OCl-) are formed during an autoredox reaction. Chlorine reacts with sodium hydroxide to sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl). This is a good disinfectant with a stable effect.


What does chlorine from a pool smell like?

Generally if chlorine level is maintained between 1-3ppm you should not smell chlorine. As the level rises it becomes noticable, however most complaints about chlorine smell are due to chloramines (even in a clear & clean pool), chlorine molecules which are bound by swimmer wastes and/or bacteria introduced to the pool. This problem can be confirmed by a reputable pool shop by testing your water. Fix it by oxidising your pool regularly during the swimming season and let the pool breathe by removing the cover for the following hour or so.


What happens when you combine fluorine and hydrogen?

When you add fluorine and chlorine together, a chemical reaction happens; during this reaction the fluorine reacts with chlorine and the iodide (a less reactive halogen) is left in the solution. During the reaction, you'd expect to see bubbles and fizzing. Hope this helped Mohsin, 16 - HNC
