In the United States, approved methods to measure free chlorine concentrations in drinking water systems adding sodium dichloroisocyanurate (dichlor) or trichloroisocyanuric acid (trichlor) as chlorine sources exhibit measurement bias from chlorinated cyanurate presence, leading to overestimated free chlorine concentrations for regulatory compliance. One option to overcome this limitation is to estimate free chlorine concentrations using an established water chemistry model (full model), but the full model has only been determined for 25 °C. The current research used a simplified version of the full model (simple model) and estimated the unknown temperature dependence (5 to 35 °C) of the two remaining equilibrium constants (K and K) required for the simple model. At 0 M ionic strength (μ), ln K 7a = - 4 , 671 T K + 4.95 or pK 7a = 2 , 028 T K - 2.15 , Δ H 7a 0 = 38.8 ± 6.0 kJ mol (95% confidence interval, CI), ln K 9a = - 5 , 133 T K + 3.79 or pK 9a = 2 , 229 T K - 1.65 , and Δ H 9a 0 = 42.7 ± 3.0 kJ mol (95% CI). At 25 °C and μ of 0 M, the simple model estimated pK and pK are 4.65 ± 0.059 (95% CI) and 5.83 ± 0.020 (95% CI), respectively. As an example of temperature's impact, the free chlorine concentration for a 2 mg Cl L dichlor addition (pH 7.0) decreases from 0.90 mg Cl L free chlorine at 25 °C to 0.60 mg Cl L free chlorine at 5 °C. If temperature was not considered, a system operating at 5 °C would overestimate their free chlorine concentration by 50%, which could have significant implications for understanding disinfection efficacy, illustrating the developed model's significance.
