Does boiling water remove chlorine from it?

Answer 1

No. In fact, boiling causes some of the water to evaporate, and therefore it would make the chlorine more concentrated in what's left.

Answer 2

Kevin... Tap water contains chlorine... Havent you ever boiled the kettle..? Ok anyways chlorine is a gas at its basic state and therefor has a much lower boiling point than water (this is why chlorine eventually evaporates out of water if left aerated) therefor if you boil it for 10mins in a saucepan the chlorine will evaporate (try not to breath it in) hope this helps

Answer 3

Instead of boiling it just add silver nitrate in water it will convert chlorine into silver chloride and u can easily removed it by filtration, remember boiling can remove chlorine from water but the process cause water loss

Answer 4

lettin water sit out for at least 24 hours will allow chlorine to evaporate. But many peoples water contains chloramines and heavy metals that do not evaporate. And they probobly can not be removed by boiling either. Boiling removes oxygen and important nutriants from the water. Wich is bad for fish, why not just wait until you can get more dechlorinator?

Answer 5

The only thing that removes chlorine from water is time or injecting air into the water to force the chlorine gas to break the surface and disipate into the air.

Answer 6

No, but if you are able to capture the boil-off, the suspended and dissolved solids will stay in the pan, thus giving you a more purified liquid in the boil-off.

Answer 7

no - boiling water only turns the water into steam - it will make the water chlorine solution more concentrated

Answer 8

If you distill water (which involves boiling and condensing), you will remove the chlorine, otherwise, just boiling will not do it.

Answer 9

No, Boiling water for 15 minutes+ kills any living organisims living in the water, however their dead carcusses remain. Yum!

Answer 10

In the vapors yes, but not in the water left over.
