chlorine

gas liquified gas under pressure green heavier Chlorine has a melting point of -100.98°C, boiling point of -34.6°C, Chlorine is a member of the halogen group of elements and directly combines with almost all of the other elements. Chlorine gas is a greenish yellow. Chlorine figures prominently in many organic chemistry reactions, particularly in substitutions with hydrogen. pungent odour

compressed gas cyliner explosion The gas acts as an irritant for respiratory and other mucous membranes. The liquid form will burn the skin. Humans can smell as low an amount as 3.5 ppm. A few breaths at a concentration of 1000 ppm is usually fatal. Oxidising Very Toxic Corrosive Can ignite combustable substances pools marine pollutant

Oxidising reactive with combustible subsatnces to cause fire fumes in moist air soluble in water and forms Hydrochloric acid A mixture of Chlorine and Hydrogen explodes when exposed to sunlight to give Hydrogen Chloride. In the dark, no reaction occurs, so activation of the reaction by light energy is required. Chlorine combines directly with most non-metals Chlorine combines directly with all metals forming metal chloride salts.

Chlorine is used in many everyday products. It is used for disinfecting drinking water. Chlorine is used in the production of textiles, paper products, dyes, petroleum products, medicines, insecticides, disinfectants, foods, solvents, plastics, paints, and many other products. Chlorine has been used as a chemical warfare agent. To make Hydrochloric acid
