what is main source of clorine
Answers
Chlorine is mostly present in the form of inorganic chlorides both inside the cells as well as in the extra cellular fluids. It could be 0.25% in whole food, 0.36% in plasma, and 0.19% in corpuscles. When carbon-dioxide enters blood, Chlorine from plasma enters the red cells, while the base (sodium) is left behind. When carbon dioxide escapes from blood, chlorine leaves the cells, enters the plasma and combines with the base (Sodium) again. This alternate movement of chlorine ion is called chloride shift. Thus the carbon dioxide tension of blood determines the proportion of Chlorine between cell and plasma
Answer:
Halite (sodium chloride or 'common salt') is the main mineral that is mined for chlorine. Sodium chloride is a very soluble salt that has been leached into the oceans over the lifetime of the Earth. Several salt beds, or 'lakes' are found where ancient seas have evaporated, and these can be mined for chloride.
