What are some good ways to get chlorine ( water from a swimming pool) out of your eyes?
I tried eye drops but they don’t really help much!

I play water polo ( a sport like soccer except in water and you use your hands not feet) and when we have practices we have to take our goggles off!

Answer by Ralfcoder
rinse your eyes when you take a shower afterwards. You may not get it all, but you’ll get more of it. Try holding some clear warm water in your hands, and put your eyes into it and open them.

Steaming Dumpling – Din Tai Fung

Dainty 小龙包 Xiao Long Bao dumplings with delicate flavours. We probably should have had more!

The 原盅走地鸡汤 free-range chicken soup was quite flavoursome, especially when served with a dash of Chinese rice wine. The Shanghainese-style noodles were super-smooth and extra slippery. They were also extremely white, lacking in the nutty flour flavour, and had a faint tinge of chlorine, perhaps because it was bleached flour. Unbleached flour would probably have been tastier.

The 虾仁炒饭 fried rice with shrimp and 干煸四季豆 dry-fried French Beans were ok, nothing special.

We finished with a 红豆酥 Golden Red Bean Bread with was crunchy fried bread encasing smooth sweetened red-bean mash. Very nice, and not too greasy either. The taro-filling in the 芋泥小龙包 Taro Xiao Long Bao was very smooth, but the wrapper didn’t provide enough textural contrast.

Question by Beyonce Beyonce Beyonce: How do you know that a bond between magnesium and chlorine will be ionic?

Magnesium is a metal, and chlorine is a nonmetal.
B. Magnesium and chlorine are both from the nonmetal groups.
C. The difference in electronegativity between the two atoms is below 0.4.
D. The difference in electronegativity between the two atoms is above 1.7.

Best answer:

Answer by Dr Dave P
D. When atoms of great difference in electronegativity come together it is likely the one of them will donate an electron and the other will accept an electron, instead of sharing it though a covalent bond.

Check us out at www.tutorvista.com An ionic bond is a type of chemical bond that involves a metal and a nonmetal ion (or polyatomic ions such as ammonium) through electrostatic attraction. In short, it is a bond formed by the attraction between two oppositely charged ions. The metal donates one or more electrons, forming a positively charged ion or cation with a stable electron configuration. These electrons then enter the non metal, causing it to form a negatively charged ion or anion which also has a stable electron configuration. The electrostatic attraction between the oppositely charged ions causes them to come together and form a bond. For example, common table salt is sodium chloride. When sodium (Na) and chlorine (Cl) are combined, the sodium atoms each lose an electron, forming a cation (Na+), and the chlorine atoms each gain an electron to form an anion (Cl−). These ions are then attracted to each other in a 1:1 ratio to form sodium chloride (NaCl). Na + Cl → Na+ + Cl− → NaCl Electron configurations of lithium and fluorine. Lithium has one electron in its outer shell, held rather loosely because the ionization energy is low. Fluorine carries 7 electrons in its outer shell. When one electron moves from lithium to fluorine, each ion acquires the noble gas configuration. The bonding energy from the electrostatic attraction of the two oppositely-charged ions has a large enough negative value that the overall bonded state energy is lower than the unbonded state …

Question by Trenton P: How do I get chlorine stains off of my windows?

I have chlorine stains on my windows from the swimming pool behind my house. I have tried scrub pads and even razor blades.

Any idea how to remove these streaks from my windows?

Thanks

Best answer:

Answer by big dogs perspective
the best way too get chorine stains off the windows is with steel wool.. use 0000 size steel wool.. this will get the stains off the windows and it will not scratch the window either. use it dry.. on the window.. and you will be amazed..the fine steel wool.. is great!

Cisplatin is in a class of drugs known as platinum-containing compounds used to treat various types of cancers including metastatic testicular and ovarian tumors. The molecule was first discovered in 1845, but did not receive FDA approval until 1978. Today it is known as the “penicillin of cancer drugs,” because it is so effective for many different cancers. There are three key players involved in Cisplatin’s mechanism: (1) Cisplatin, (2) DNA (3) and an HMG Protein. Most Cisplatin enters the body through active transport, but some molecules are passively defused through the cell membrane. Once in the nucleus, Cisplatin can form an adduct with two consecutive guanine bases within a strand of DNA. The molecule loses its chlorine atoms in exchange for the nitrogen atoms of the target guanines. Cisplatin can bond more tightly with nitrogen because nitrogen balances the platinum charge more effectively than chlorine. It is this adduct-induced DNA bend that allows binding of proteins which contain the high mobility group, HMG domain. Once the protein is bound to the DNA, it inserts a wedge-like phenyl group of phenylalanine 37 into the widened minor groove created by the bend. The tightly bound HMG protein causes destacking of the nucleotide bases, resulting in the DNA helix becoming kinked. In this way, Cisplatin can be thought of as a monkey wrench in the DNA repair system. With the HMG protein bound to the DNA, the modified strand is not repaired properly and so the cell …

Question by Savanah: Chlorine???

I am on a swim team, and I swim 2, sometimes (although very rarely) 3 times a week. My face is naturally sensitive, and not a lot of products work on my skin. My skin dries out because of being in the pool, but when I put mosturizers and stuff on it, I break out because because of the oil in it! It is frustrating! I don’t have bad acne, but like every other normal teenager, I get the occasional breakout, but when I use lotions (such as the repair lotion in Proactiv) I breakout in little pimples around my nose and on my forehead. Some body please help! Thnx!!

Answer by guessc
Have a skin Dr. get you some good face cream. use lightly. Do not use any lotion/creams with a perfume base. I have simler problem

Question by xaexxx: Chlorine ?

Cl2, the molecule, can give rise to three attacking species. Write down their formulae and classify each one as a free radical, electrophile or nucleophile. Thanks

Best answer:

Answer by Gervald F
I suppose what the question is after is:
Cl+ – electrophile
Cl. – free radical
Cl- – nucleophile.
