Application & Uses
Chlorine has wide-ranging applications, primarily as a disinfectant for water and in sanitation, and as a key component in manufacturing numerous products like PVC plastics, pharmaceuticals, bleaches, and other chemicals. It is also used in the production of paper, textiles, and dyes, and plays a role in the manufacturing of certain pesticides and electronic components.
Recommended Application
Chlorine is widely used for disinfection in water treatment (for drinking water, swimming pools, and wastewater), as a household bleach, and in industrial processes like paper and textile bleaching and the manufacturing of plastics and pharmaceuticals. It is also used to disinfect surfaces, sanitize food preparation areas, and sterilize medical and food industry equipment.
Chemical Properties
Key chemical properties of chlorine Strong oxidizing agent: Chlorine is a powerful oxidizing agent, meaning it can gain electrons from other substances. This property is what makes it an effective disinfectant.It oxidizes iron to form iron(III) chloride ((FeCl_{3})).It oxidizes hydrogen sulfide ((H_{2}S)) to sulfur ((S)) and is reduced to hydrogen chloride ((HCl)).Reactivity with metals: Dry chlorine reacts with most metals upon heating to form metal chlorides.Alkali metals can react with chlorine through combustion, especially if a small amount of moisture is present.Reactivity with nonmetals: Chlorine reacts with most nonmetals except for carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen.It reacts with hydrogen gas in the presence of light to form hydrochloric acid ((HCl)) in an explosive reaction.Formation of oxides: Chlorine forms several oxides, where it can have positive oxidation states.Examples include chlorine monoxide ((Cl_{2}O)) and chlorine dioxide ((ClO_{2})).Formation of hypochlorous acid and hydrochloric acid: When chlorine dissolves in water, it disproportionates to form a mixture of hypochlorous acid ((HOCl)) and hydrochloric acid ((HCl)).Formation of bleaching powder: Chlorine reacts with slaked lime ((Ca(OH)_{2})) to produce bleaching powder.Oxidation states: While chlorine typically has an oxidation state of (-1), it can form compounds where it exhibits positive oxidation states of (+1,+3,+4,+5,) and (+7). These states are often stabilized by coordination with elements like oxygen and fluorine.
Storage Requirements
requires storage in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and incompatible chemicals like ammonia. Containers must be kept tightly sealed, upright, and secured, with full and empty containers kept separate. Proper labeling and regular container inspection are also critical for safety.
Hazardous
