Addition of chlorine to water gives both hydrochloric acid (HCl) and hypochlorous acid (HClO)
What are Transition metal oxides ?
Transition metal oxides (TMOs) are another class of nanomaterials, frequently used as anode in alkaline batteries due to their distinctive properties such as abundant active sites, short diffusion pathways, low preparation cost, high theoretical capacity and distinct reaction mechanism.
Cl2 + H2O ⇌ HClO + HCl
Cl2 + 4 OH− ⇌ 2 ClO− + 2 H2O + 2 e−
Cl2 + 2 e− ⇌ 2 Cl−
The acid can also be prepared by dissolving dichlorine monoxide in water; under standard aqueous conditions, anhydrous hypochlorous acid is currently impossible to prepare due to the readily reversible equilibrium between it and its anhydride.
2 HClO ⇌ Cl2O + H2O K (at 0 °C) = 3.55×10−3 dm3 mol−1
The presence of light or transition metal oxides of copper, nickel, or cobalt accelerates the exothermic decomposition into hydrochloric acid and oxygen
2 Cl2 + 2 H2O → 4 HCl + O2

Answer:
<u>d. a row of elements</u>
Explanation:
Elements that are in the same group, have same number of electrons and make up a column in a periodic table.
In the compound nh3, nitrogen has an oxidation number of 3+ and hydrogen has an oxidation number of -1
The molecule NH3 have a neutral charge so the number of oxidation number of it's component must be equal to zero. The molecule NH composed of 1 nitrogen and 3 hydrogens. If the nitrogen oxidation number is 3+, then hydrogen would be:
1* N + 3*H=0
1*+3 +3*H=0
3H= -3
H= -1
