    Chlorine reacts with water to form chloric acid, oxidizing chlorine and reducing water. This reaction is used to purify water supplies. In sunlight, chlorine and water form oxygen and hydrochloric acid, oxidizing water and reducing chlorine. Chlorine is added to water supplies to kill bacteria and prevent the spread of disease. While chlorine purification prevents illness, it can also create harmful byproducts if too much is added. Sodium chlorate is formed when chlorine oxidizes sodium hydroxide, and is used to make matches and as a herbicide.
