Chlorine, properties

Choramines differ with respect to their oxidative and chlorinating properties. Taurine chloramine is quite stable, and due to its relatively long lifetime in biological milieu, can diffuse to places distant from its production site (T4, T5). On the...

Due to the high reactivity of molten iodine monochloride various elements are easily chlorinated , although the chlorinating properties of iodine monochloride are weaker than the fluorinating power of bromine(III) fluoride.

CH3CHCICH2CI. Colourless liquid with a pleasant odour b.p. 96 C, Manufactured by treating liquid chlorine with an excess of liquid propene. It is very similar in properties to ethylene dichloride, and is used for similar purposes. 

Among the non-metals, nitrogen and chlorine, for example, are gases, but phosphorus, which resembles nitrogen chemically, is a solid, as is iodine which chemically resembles chlorine. Clearly we have to consider the physical and chemical properties of the elements and their compounds if we are to establish a meaningful classification. 

One surprising physical property of fluorine is its electron affinity which, at — 333 kJmoPS is lower than that of chlorine, -364 kJmol , indicating that the reaction X(g) + -> X (g) is more... 

Bromine has a lower electron affinity and electrode potential than chlorine but is still a very reactive element. It combines violently with alkali metals and reacts spontaneously with phosphorus, arsenic and antimony. When heated it reacts with many other elements, including gold, but it does not attack platinum, and silver forms a protective film of silver bromide. Because of the strong oxidising properties, bromine, like fluorine and chlorine, tends to form compounds with the electropositive element in a high oxidation state. 

The presence of chloric(I) acid makes the properties of chlorine water different from those of gaseous chlorine, just as aqueous sulphur dioxide is very different from the gas. Chloric(I) acid is a strong oxidising agent, and in acid solution will even oxidise sulphur to sulphuric acid however, the concentration of free chloric(I) acid in chlorine water is often low and oxidation reactions are not always complete. Nevertheless when chlorine bleaches moist litmus, it is the chloric(I) acid which is formed that produces the bleaching. The reaction of chlorine gas with aqueous bromide or iodide ions which causes displacement of bromine or iodine (see below) may also involve the reaction... 

Organic chemistry demands much from chlorine, both as an oxidizing agent and in substitution, since it often brings many desired properties in an organic compound when substituted for hydrogen, as in one form of synthetic rubber. 

Element 104, the first transactinide element, is expected to have chemical properties similar to those of hafnium. It would, for example, form a relatively volatile compound with chlorine (a tetrachloride).

Properties. The DPXs are all crystalline soHds melting points and densities are given in Table 1. Their solubiUty in aromatic hydrocarbons is Limited. At 140°C, the solubiUty of DPXN in xylene is only about 10%. DPXC is more readily soluble in chlorinated solvents, eg, in methylene chloride at 25°C its solubihty is 10%. In contrast, the corresponding figure for DPXN is 1.5%. 

Chemical Properties and Industrial Uses. Chloroacetic acid has wide appHcations as an industrial chemical intermediate. Both the carboxyhc acid group and the cx-chlorine are very reactive. It readily forms esters and amides, and can undergo a variety of cx-chlorine substitutions. 

Dichloroacetic acid [79-43-6] (CI2CHCOOH), mol wt 128.94, C2H2CI2O2, is a reactive intermediate in organic synthesis. Physical properties are mp 13.9°C, bp 194°C, density 1.5634 g/mL, and refractive index 1.4658, both at 20°C. The Hquid is totally miscible in water, ethyl alcohol, and ether. Dichloroacetic acid K = 5.14 X 10 ) is a stronger acid than chloroacetic acid. Most chemical reactions are similar to those of chloroacetic acid, although both chlorine... 

The cooled, dried chlorine gas contains - 2% HCl and up to 10% O2, both of which are removed by Hquefaction. A full scale 600-t/day plant was built by Du Pont ia 1975. This iastaHatioa at Corpus Christi, Texas operates at 1.4 MPa (13.8 atm) and 120—180°C and uses tantalum-plated equipment and pipes. Oxidation of HCl Chloride by JSHtricHcid. The nitrosyl chloride [2696-92-6] route to chlorine is based on the strongly oxidi2iag properties of nitric acid... 

Chlorine, a member of the halogen family, is a greenish yellow gas having a pungent odor at ambient temperatures and pressures and a density 2.5 times that of air. In Hquid form it is clear amber SoHd chlorine forms pale yellow crystals. The principal properties of chlorine are presented in Table 15 additional details are available (77—79). The temperature dependence of the density of gaseous (Fig. 31) and Hquid (Fig. 32) chlorine, and vapor pressure (Fig. 33) are illustrated. Enthalpy pressure data can be found in ref. 78. The vapor pressure P can be calculated in the temperature (T) range of 172—417 K from the Martin-Shin-Kapoor equation (80) ... 

No attempt should be made to handle chlorine for any purpose without a thorough understanding of its properties and the ha2ards involved. This information is available from the Chlorine Institute and from various handbooks (10,76,79).

Chemical Properties. Under slightly acidic or basic conditions at room temperature, acetate and triacetate fibers are resistant to chlorine bleach at the concentrations normally used in laundering. 

Solvent Resistance. Elastomeric fibers tend to swell in certain organic solvents mbber fibers swell in hydrocarbon solvents such as hexane. Spandex fibers become highly swollen in chlorinated solvents such as tetrachloroethylene [127-18-4] (Perclene). Although the physical properties of spandex fibers return to normal after the solvent evaporates, considerable amounts of its stabilizers may have been extracted. Therefore, the development of stabilizers that are more resistant to solvent extraction has become important as solvent scouring during mill processing replaces aqueous scouring at many mills, especially in Europe (26).
