Q

Why do some people have concerns about the use of chlorine in water treatment

A
  • Chlorine itself is highly toxic
  • Chlorine can also react with traces of organic compounds in water, producing organochlorine compounds, some of which are known as carcinogens

Q

Reaction of aqueous chlorine and cold, dilute aqueous sodium hydroxide

A

Cl₂(aq) + 2NaOH(aq) → NaCl(aq) + NaClO(aq) +H₂O(l)

18
Q

Why is the reaction of chlorine and cold, dilute aqueous sodium hydroxide commercially used

A

Produces NaClO sodium chlorate(I) which is bleach
