Hitman42 [59]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

seven electrons

Explanation:

Chlorine is present in group seventeen of periodic table. It is halogen element. All halogens have seven electrons in outer most valance shell.

The require only one electron to gain the stable electronic configuration or to complete the octet.

Electronic configuration of chlorine:

Cl₁₇ = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁵

Abbreviated electronic configuration:

Cl₁₇ = [Ne] 3s² 3p⁵

Properties of chlorine:

1. it is greenish-yellow irritating gas.

2. its melting point is 172.2 K

3. its boiling point is 238.6 K

4. it is disinfectant and can kill the bacteria.

5. it is also used in manufacturing of paper, paints and textile industries.

olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

During photosynthesis SOLAR enerrgy is transformed into CHEMICAL energy.

Explanation:

In nutrition, green plants manufactures their own food which they use for both energy and growth. This is called an autotrophic mode of nutrition.

Therefore, photosynthesis is an autotrophic nutrition in which plant can build sugar by taking carbon dioxide from air and water from the soil. For the synthesis of sugar like glucose, carbon dioxide provides carbon

and oxygen whereas water molecules provide hydrogen. The plant builds sugar molecules from these simple compounds. Enzymes needed for this purpose are present in the cells and energy is trapped by chlorophyll from sunlight. This process is summarised in the equation below:

Sunlight (solar)

6CO2 + 6H2O--------------------> C6H12O6 + 6O2

From the equation, Carbon dioxide, water and sunlight (SOLAR energy) is the raw materials needed to produce Glucose and oxygen (CHEMICAL energy) as by products.

Describe how water molecules interact with sodium chloride molecules in order for water to dissolve salt.
Phantasy [73]

Answer:

Sodium chloride is an ionic salt that completely dissociates in water.

Explanation:

Sodium chloride in water dissociates according to the equation.

NaCl (aq) → Na + (aq) + Cl- (aq)

While water stays in balance according to the equation

2H2O (l) ⇄ H3O+(aq)  +  OH-(aq).

By dissociating the solute in the solvent, the water molecules pick up the sodium cations as well as the chloride anions to break the bonds in the salt crystals and thus produce the dissolution

If the ions are analyzed separately, we see that Na + interacts with water, so it would be producing sodium hydroxide, releasing protons.  

If the reaction goes in the sense of products, the Na + would increase the concentration of [H +], however being a neutral salt the pH does not vary from 7, so the reaction would never go in the sense of products, but only reagents. That's why as the sodium hydroxide is a strong base, it only promotes the formation of water and the cation.

Na+  +  H2O  ←  NaOH  +  H+

The same situation occurs with chloride, since no matter how much you want to form hydrochloric acid, it dissociates by promoting the formation of water plus the corresponding anion. Na + and Cl- act as too weak conjugate acid and base, so the reaction would never go in the direction of products

Cl-  +  H2O  ←  HCl  +  OH-
