CN3OH3
CN3OH3, also known as cyanuric acid, is a chemical compound with the molecular formula C3N3O3. It is a white, crystalline powder that is soluble in water and has a slightly bitter taste. Cyanuric acid is primarily used as a disinfectant and stabilizer in swimming pools and spas. It reacts with chlorine to form chlorinated cyanuric acid, which helps to maintain chlorine levels in water, preventing it from evaporating and ensuring effective disinfection. This compound is also used in the production of certain dyes, resins, and pharmaceuticals. Cyanuric acid is non-toxic and has a low environmental impact, making it a preferred choice for water treatment applications. However, it can react with certain chemicals to form harmful byproducts, so proper handling and storage are essential.
