Sodium ascorbate, a form of vitamin C, neutralizes chlorine through a redox (reduction-oxidation) reaction.

Here’s how it works:

Chlorine is commonly used in pools for disinfection, existing mainly as hypochlorous acid (HOCl) and hypochlorite ions (OCl-), depending on the pH of the water.

These chlorine species are strong oxidizers, which means they can react with other compounds by accepting electrons.

Sodium ascorbate (C6H7NaO6) is a salt of ascorbic acid (vitamin C). It acts as a reducing agent, meaning it donates electrons to other compounds.

When sodium ascorbate is introduced into chlorinated water, it reduces chlorine by donating electrons to it. The chlorine (in the form of HOCl or OCl-) gets reduced to chloride ions (Cl-), which are harmless. Simultaneously, sodium ascorbate gets oxidized to dehydroascorbic acid.

- sodium ascorbate (C6H7NaO6) reacts with hypochlorous acid (HOCl) to produce dehydroascorbic acid (C6H6O6), sodium chloride (NaCl), and water (H2O).

This reaction is safe and effective. Sodium ascorbate does not produce harmful byproducts, and the resulting chloride ions are similar to the natural salt found in various water bodies.

By using sodium ascorbate in pool spray, you can neutralize the residual chlorine on your skin and hair, mitigating the drying and irritating effects of chlorine exposure, and ensuring a more pleasant swimming experience.
