So, unfortunately a neighbor of mine had a terrible accident involving pool chemicals. He added water to chlorine and started shaking it, causing an explosion that left him in bad shape (luckily, I am told he will make a full recovery). I have not had a course in chemistry in a few years (although I still know enough to realize what he did was quite foolish), so I am wondering, how is the chemistry different between adding chlorine to water vs adding water to chlorine? If somebody could give me an explanation I'd greatly appreciate it, thanks.
