Question
Swimming pool water is a mixture of water and chlorine.What happens to the chemical properties of chlorine in the water?The chemical properties would change and adopt the general properties of water.The chemical properties would be unchanged for chlorine.The chemical properties change randomly.
Solution
The chemical properties of chlorine would be unchanged in the water. When chlorine is added to water, it reacts to form a mixture of hypochlorous acid (HOCl) and hydrochloric acid (HCl). However, these reactions do not change the inherent chemical properties of chlorine. Instead, they form new compounds that have their own distinct properties. The chlorine still retains its ability to react with other substances, which is why it is used to kill bacteria and other harmful organisms in pool water.
