The Arizona winter residence of Professor Rheam, a retired paper chemist, has an in-ground swimming pool (dimensions 40 × 16 ft; average depth 4.5 ft). Never known for his knowledge of redox chemistry or dexterity, Rheam took a gallon of household bleach to the pool area in an effort to remove some rust spots, and in his haste to get the job done, he tipped over the jug of bleach. It all flowed into the swimming pool before he was able to retrieve it. Assume the jug was full and that its strength was 5% NaOCl, which is typical for household bleach.
Rheam did a quick calculation in his head and decided that the amount of bleach that entered the pool would not pose a hazard to swimmers, and he did not mention it to his guests, who swam in the pool later that afternoon. Assume that the bleach was completely mixed in the pool water in a matter of minutes. By how much did the chlorine residual increase (in mg/L as Cl2)?
