chlorine water
Does somebody know the available chlorine content in a saturated chlorine water solution?
Would there be any change in specific gravity due to the chlorine?

Chlorine gas is soluble in water, 1 volume of water will disolve about 2.4 volumes of the gas at 10oC to give you chlorine water. It will slowly
react with the water to give hydrochloric and hypochlorous acid. The hypochlorous acid will slowly decompose to hydrochloric acid and oxygen (faster
in sun light).
Do you mean hypochlorite solution

Just tried to work it out and I think it is about 0.01molar solution of chlorine
Sorry about that it is 0.1 molar

Thanks Mick, that's fine. Ignoring the formation of acids, would the specific gravity increase? What I'm asking is: could SG be used as a
means of measuring chlorine strength in freshly formed chlorine water?
Looking forward to your comments.
Fred.
