Chlorine is normally shipped and stored

  • A.dissolved in water
  • B.adsorbed on activated carbon
  • C.as a liquid under pressure
  • D.as a gas at atmospheric pressure

Answer: C

Correct answer: as a liquid under pressure

Chlorine liquefies at moderate pressure at ambient temperature, and shipping it as a liquid reduces the volume by a factor of several hundred. It is carried in pressure vessels, road tankers and rail cars, and because a release would flash to a dense toxic gas, the storage and transport of chlorine are among the most heavily regulated in the chemical industry.
