Chlorine Research Paper
CHLORINE
Chlorine is an element I would like to present today. It is discovered in 1774 by Carl Wilhelm Scheele and was named by Sir Humphry Davy in 1810, after a Greek word, khlôros, which means greenish yellow. Chlorine is in the halogen group in the periodic table with an atomic number of seventeen. Pure chlorine is yellowish-green but most common compounds with chlorine are typically colourless.
The element itself was first produced in 1774 by Carl Wilhelm Scheele, by heating hydrochloric acid with manganese dioxide, Mn02. He recorded the reaction to create greenish-yellow gas which had a choking smell and dissolved in water to give an acid solution. He noted that it decolourised litmus paper.
Chlorine is industrially and commercially
