What elements form chlorides with formula xcl?

1 answer:

4 0

Since chlorine favours a (-1) oxidation state, it forms an ionic bond with group one metals with the formula XCl. All group one metals react vigorously with chlorine gas; and each reaction gets more violent as you move down Group 1 and produces a white crystalline salt. The reaction with chlorine is as follows 2X + Cl2 which gives 2XCl. Where X is an Alkali metal.

In a molecule, how do we show what types of atoms are there and how many atoms there are of each type.

Sophie [7]

Chemical or molecular formulas? Symbols from the periodic table are used to show which atoms are present in a molecule and subscripts show the number of atoms and of each type in the molecule.

All mixtures can be separated by physical processes. true or false

DaniilM [7]

True. In chemistry, mixtures are two (or more) substances mixed together but not combined chemically. This means there are no chemical bonds that have formed between the substances. As such, they can be separated with physical processes.

If there is currently 50kg of U-235 present in Oklo, how much must have been present 750 million years ago when the reaction too

Viefleur [7K]

To answer this question, you need to know the concept of half-life, which is how a radioactive material decreases in mass over time.

The half life of U-235 is 703.8 million years. The first part of this problem is to find the scale factor. To do this, divide the time that has past by the half life, like this:

$\frac{750}{703.8} = 1.066$
Now, take this scale factor and multiply it by the current mass, like this:

$50 \times 1.066 = 53.3$
This number is what you add to the current mass to get the original mass. That is because the scale factor showed us that it was just over one half life. Since after one half life, the mass is cut in half, and this is over one half life, when we add to the original it will be a little over double. This equation illustrates the final addition:

$50 + 53.3 = 103.3$
I hope this helped you. Fell free to ask any further questions.

It is desired to produce 2.25 grams of dichloromethane (CH2Cl2) by the following reaction. If the percent yield of dichlorometha

Allushta [10]

Answer:- 3.12 g carbon tetrachloride are needed.

Solution:- The balanced equation is:

$CH_4+CCl_4\rightarrow 2CH_2Cl_2$

From given actual yield and percent yield we will calculate the theoretical yield that would be further used to calculate the grams of carbon tetrachloride.

percent yield formula is:

percent yield = $(\frac{actual}{theoretical})100$
