Best Answer

The boiling point of iodine (184.3 0C) is substantially higher than the boiling point of chlorine (-34 0C). Each element occurs at standard temperature and pressure as diatomic molecules; iodine molecules have substantially more mass than chlorine molecules; dispersion forces will be higher beween iodine molecules as they have more electrons than chlorine molecules. Both these factors contribute, mass will alomost certainly be the predominant factor.

Do dogs affect the chlorine in pools?

Yes, dogs generally cause a higher chlorine demand. It's not a problem if you monitor the chlorine levels.


Does chlorine have a higher boiling point than iodine?

iodine is having higher boiling point


Why Does Chlorine or Silicon have a higher melting point?

the further one moves down the periods, the melting point decreases. since sillicon is placed before chlorine, chlorine has lower melting point.


Does argon or chlorine have a higher ionization energy?

Argon. As you go across (left to right) on the periodic table the energy of an atom increases. Argon is farthest left of chlorine therefore making Argon have a higher ionization energy level.


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.

Chlorine has a higher ionization energy. Chlorine's tendency is to gain electrons, not lose them as metals usually do.

What do you need to do if your free chlorine level is higher than your total chlorine level?

Get a new test kit or new test reagents. Total Chlorine is the measure of free and combined chlorine, therefore the free chlorine cannot be higher than the Total Chlorine. You can't put 10 gallons of water in a 5 gallon bucket.
