Chlorine Test

Chlorine is one of the basic builidng blocks of our planet. Chlorine is usually found in nature bound with other elements like sodium, potassium, and magnesium. When chlorine is isolated as a free element, chlorine is a greenish yellow gas, which is 2.5 times heavier than air. It turns to a liquid state at -34°C (-29°F), and it becomes a yellowish crystalline solid at -103°C (-153°F). In nature it is found in the combined state only, chiefly with sodium as common salt (NaCl), carnallite, and sylvite

One of the most effective and economical germ-killers, chlorine also destroys and deactivates a wide range of dangerous germs in homes, hospitals, swimming pools, hotels, restaurants, and other public places. Chlorine's powerful disinfectant qualities come from its ability to bond with and destroy the outer surfaces of bacteria and viruses. It was first used as a germicide to prevent the spread of "child bed fever" in the maternity wards of Vienna General Hospital in Austria in 1846, chlorine has been one of society's most potent weapons against a wide array of life-threatening infections, viruses, and bacteria for 150 years.
Without sodium chloride (salt), there would be no life. Life began in the ocean, the largest source of salt and the origin of all organic material. Through evolution, our bodies learned how to use salt, and its constituent elements such as chlorine, in a number of essential ways. Sodium chloride literally keeps our bodies from drying up, moves our muscles, makes our meals matter, and attacks germs to keep us healthy. Our body's cells exist in a sea of fluid. This extracellular body fluid is mostly water, along with the charged atoms (ions) of sodium and chloride. Chloride and other chlorine compounds play an essential role in a delicate balancing act: providing for the electrical neutrality and the correct pressure for the body fluids, and in keeping the acid-base balance of the body. One result of this balancing act is that the amount of water and concentrations of the salt remain relatively constant over time. We don't dry up nor do we bloat uncontrollably. When changes occur, the balance reasserts itself. For example, after heavy exercise the body requires salt; and we are usually thirsty after eating salty food.

Chloride ions are building blocks of hydrochloric acid, which is essential to our digestive system. Hydrochloric acid made in the stomach has two main purposes: to help destroy germs that arrived with the food; and to help pepsin, an enzyme, break down the proteins found in the food stuffs, ensuring that essential nutrients are made avail- able to the body.

Chlorine in water reacts with living tissues and organic matter causing acute necrosis (cell death) in fish. Most municipal water companies sterilize their water with chlorine or chloramine, a combination of chlorine and ammonia, for safe human consumption. While relatively harmless to humans, chlorine can be deadly to fish. The amount of chlorine in tap water may fluctuate, but it is usually between 0.5 and 2.0 parts per million (ppm).
