Sampling

AI Thread Summary

Sampling the air above and the water in a swimming pool for chlorine levels is crucial for ensuring safety and maintaining water quality. High chlorine levels can lead to respiratory issues and skin irritation, while low levels may not effectively kill harmful pathogens. Techniques for testing chlorine levels often involve using reagents like potassium iodide, which can react with chlorine to provide a measurable indication of its concentration. A pipette is commonly used to accurately measure and transfer water samples for testing. Regular monitoring of chlorine levels helps maintain a safe swimming environment.

Hey guys,

I'm just curious to know, why is it important to sample the air above and the water in the swimming pool for the chlorine level...and I mean, is there a technique which involves potassium iodide and a pipette?

Thanks!

Thread 'Humidity of a saturated NaCl solution with anticaking additive'

I want to test a humidity sensor with one or more saturated salt solutions. The table salt that I have on hand contains one of two anticaking agents, calcium silicate or sodium aluminosilicate. Will the presence of either of these additives (or iodine for that matter) significantly affect the equilibrium humidity? I searched and all the how-to-do-it guides did not address this question. One research paper I found reported that at 1.5% w/w calcium silicate increased the deliquescent point by...
