hermanntrude Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 cautiously smell it (waft a small amount toward your nose with your hand. It's probably chlorine. A concentrated salt solution will electrolyse to form chlorine and hydrogen. be careful with chlorine it's highly toxic and quite unpleasant. it's also yellow. The vinegar probably didnt do much at all. be careful messing around with chemistry. it seems that you're not very experienced and that can be extremely dangerous.
