Answer: Halogens tend to attract electrons when bonding (Option C)
Explanation: Halogens being non metals have greater electronegativities hence, attract electrons and making the statement disputed. Nobel gases are highly stable; this explains why they are nonreactive. They do not form chemical bonds because they only have a little tendency to either gain or lose an electron; on the other hand, halogens are reactive because they only need one additional electron to complete their octet.
Answer:
Explanation:
By observing chemical reactions, we are able to understand and explain how the natural world works. Chemical reactions turn food into fuel for your body, make fireworks explode, cause food to change when it is cooked, make soap remove grime, and much more.
Calculate the mass in grams of hydrogen chloride (HCl) that is formed when 5.6 L of molecular hydrogen, measured at TPE, reacts with an excess of gaseous molecular chlorine. MHCl = 36.5 g/mol
H2(g) + Cl2(g) → 2HCl(g)
Answer:
18.25g
Explanation:
The reaction equation is given as;
H₂ + Cl₂ → 2HCl
Given parameters:
Volume of hydrogen gas = 5.6L
The reaction occurs at STP.
Solution:
To solve this problem, let us find the number of moles of the hydrogen as;
At STP;
22.4L of a gas has 1 mole;
5.6L of Hydrogen as will have
= 0.25mole
From the balanced reaction equation;
1 mole of H₂ will produce 2 mole of HCl
0.25 mole of H₂ will produce 2 x 0.25 = 0.5mole of HCl
The mass of HCl';
Mass of HCl = number of moles x molar mass
Mass of HCl = 0.5 x 36.5 = 18.25g
