Description

Chlorine is a greenish-yellow, nonflammable gas with a distinctive, pungent odor. It is almost two and one-half times as heavy as air. The gas acts as a severe irritant if inhaled. Chlorine liquid has the color of clear amber and is about one and one-half times as heavy as water. It is shipped as a compressed liquefied gas having a vapor pressure of 86.767 psig at 70°F (598.26 kPa at 21.1°C). Chlorine is nonflammable in both gaseous and liquid states. However, like oxygen, it is capable of supporting the combustion of certain substances. Many organic chemicals react readily with chlorine, in some cases with explosive violence. Chlorine usually forms univalent compounds, but it can combine with a valence of 3, 4,5, or 7.
Chlorine is only slightly soluble in water. When it reacts with pure water, weak solutions of hydrochloric and hypochlorous acids are formed. Chlorine hydrate (Cl2·8H20) may crystallize below 49.3°F (9.61°C).
