Why are halogens reactive?

Chemistry
1 answer:
erica [24]3 years ago
8 0

<u>Halogens are reactive because:</u>

They have high electronegativity and also high nuclear charge. So, they are reactive and also gain an electron when they react with other elements.

Since they are very reactive, halogens are very harmful to living organisms. Some of the halogens are fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, astatine. These are mostly non metals. Fluorine is one of the most reactive gas and also very toxic gas. When Fluorine reacts with glass along with small amounts of water, it forms silicon tetra fluoride (SiF4). Hence fluorine should be handled with substances like the inert organofluorine compound Teflon.

A bike rider approaches a hill with a speed of 8.5 m/s. The total mass of the bike and the rider is 85 kg. Find the kinetic ener
krek1111 [17]

KE=3070.625 J

Height = 3.686 m

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

mass of bike+rider=85 kg

velocity = 8.5 m/s

\tt KE=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\\KE=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 85\times 8.5^2\\\\KE=3070.625~J

Conservation of energy :

(KE+PE)₁ (downhill) = (KE+PE)₂ (up the hill)

PE₁=0⇒h=0

KE₂=0⇒v=0(stop), so equation becomes :

KE₁=PE₂

\tt KE_1=3070.625\\\\KE_1=mgh_2\\\\3070.625=85\times 9.8\times h\Rightarrow h=3.686~m

The formation of ammonia is represented by the equation N2(g) + 3H2(g) ⇌ 2NH3(g). Determine the enthalpy of formation of ammonia
Savatey [412]

Answer:

\Delta _fH_{NH_3}=-66\frac{kJ}{mol}

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the study of the bond energy allows us to compute the enthalpies of some reactions, for this combination reaction by which ammonia is yielded, we understand the enthalpy of reaction equals the enthalpy of formation of ammonia, and, in terms of the bonds energy we can write:

\Delta _fH_{NH_3}=Delta _rH=\Sigma \Delta H(bonds \ broken)-\Sigma \Delta H(bonds \ formed)

Whereas the bonds enthalpy of those bonds that get broken cover the N≡N and the three H-H bonds at the reactants side and the enthalpy of those bonds that are formed cover the six N-H bonds at the products; which means we obtain:

\Delta _fH_{NH_3}=942\frac{kJ}{mol} +3*436\frac{kJ}{mol}-6*386\frac{kJ}{mol}\\\\\Delta _fH_{NH_3}=-66\frac{kJ}{mol}

Which differs from the theoretical value that is -46 kJ/mol.

Best regards!
