chloridIonen

ChloridIonen is the name given to the negatively charged ion of chlorine. Its chemical symbol is Cl-. In aqueous solutions, it is a common electrolyte. ChloridIonen are essential for many biological processes in living organisms, including maintaining fluid balance and facilitating nerve impulse transmission. In the human body, the concentration of chloridIonen in blood plasma is tightly regulated. They play a crucial role in the production of hydrochloric acid in the stomach, which aids in digestion. Outside of biological systems, chloridIonen are found in various salts, most notably sodium chloride, commonly known as table salt. The presence of chloridIonen is a significant factor in the salinity of oceans and other bodies of water. Environmental concentrations of chloridIonen can be influenced by natural sources like rock weathering and anthropogenic activities such as de-icing roads and industrial discharge. High concentrations of chloridIonen in water can lead to corrosion of metal pipes and affect its taste.
