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 25. 00 ml sample of acetic acid containing phenolphthalein indicator is titrated with 0. 1067 m naoh. The solution changes col
sasho [114]

The concentration of acetic acid:

The concentration of the acetic acid before titration is 0.128 M

What is titration?

Titration is a quantitative analytical procedure that works by allowing a known analyte to gradually react with a titrant until an endpoint is reached.

Titration for weak acid and strong base:

Moles of acetic acid =  moles of NaOH

Given:

Concentration of NaOH = 0.1067 M

Volume of NaOH = 30.07 ml = 0.03007 L

Calculation:

So, by using the formula, Concentration = Moles/Volume

Moles of NaOH = concentration x volume = 0.1067 x 0.03007 = 0.0032

Therefore, the moles of acetic acid  = 0.0032 mole

Now, using the formula again for determining the concentration of acetic acid, we get,

Concentration = Moles/Volume

Concentration of acetic acid =  0.0032/0.025 = 0.128M

Which phrase describes a characteristic of an Arrhenius base?
Tom [10]

 The phrase  that describes a   characteristic   of an Arrhenius base is  that Arrhenius  base add  hydroxide  ions  to  the solution ( answer C)

 

      <u><em>Explanation</em></u>

Arrhenius base  is a substance that  increases  the concentration  of OH-  in aqueous  solution.

The Common Arrhenius base are  group 1 and  2 hydroxide  such as LiOH, NaOH ,  Ba(OH)2  among others.  

for  example  NaOH  dissociate  as follows , NaOH  →  Na+(aq) + OH- (aq)

Pick a "for every" statement about copper and silver nitrate for this reaction.
maxonik [38]

From the equation of the reaction; for every 1 mole of copper, the reaction uses 2 moles of silver nitrate.

<h3>What is a reaction?</h3>

A chemical reaction involves the transformation of one chemical specie into another. The reaction is not shown here hence the question is incomplete.

However, the reaction should be of the sort; Cu + 2AgNO3 ---> Cu(NO3)2 + Cu. Thus, for every 1 mole of copper, the reaction uses 2 moles of silver nitrate.

How many moles (of molecules or formula units) are in each sample? 79.34 g cf2cl2?
Alona [7]
From the periodic table:
molecular mass of carbon = 12 grams
molecular mass of fluorine = 18.99 grams
molecular mass of chlorine = 35.5 grams
Therefore:
one mole of CF2Cl2 = 12 + 2(18.99) + 2(35.5) = 120.98 grams
Therefore, we can use cross multiplication to find the number of moles in 79.34 grams as follows:
mass = (79.34 x 1) / 120.98 = 0.6558 moles

Now, one mole contains 6.022 x 10^23 molecules, therefore:
number of molecules in 0.65548 moles = 0.6558 x 6.022 x 10^23
                                                              = 3.949 x 10^23 molecules
