A ruptured tank in Anywhere, USA, spilled hydrochloric acid. Officials were reported to be concerned that the acid might mix wit

h sodium hydroxide (caustic soda) in a neighboring tank and form a toxic gas. What toxic gas would be formed by mixing hydrochloric acid with sodium hydroxide? 1. chlorine 2. carbon dioxide 3. None 4. chlorine dioxide

Answer:

Option C; NONE.

Explanation:

A chemical reaction forms new chemicals called the products from the initial chemicals called the reactants. The reaction between an acid and a base is called neutralization, and the products formed are water and a salt.

When hy­drochlo­ric acid and sodi­um hy­drox­ide is mixed together, they in­ter­act, and re­sult­ in salt and a release of heat.

The re­sult of the in­ter­ac­tion of these two high­ly ag­gres­sive com­pounds is ta­ble salt and wa­ter, these resulting com­pounds are ul­ti­mate­ly harm­less, and even ben­e­fi­cial, to hu­man be­ings.

Therefore, NO TOXIC GAS WOULD BE FORMED BY MIXING HYDROCHLORIC ACID WITH SODIUM HYDROXIDE.

Among the alkali earth metals, the tendency to react with other substances
tatyana61 [14]
Answer: option <span>A) increases from bottom to top within the group.

Explanation:

</span>It is a known trend that the metallic character of the elements increase from let to right and from top to bottom.

The greater the metallic character the greater the reactivity of the metal.

So, the elements of the columns 1 and 2 are the most reactive metals and among them the elements at the bottom are yet more reactive.

<span>The higher reactivity of the metals that are lower in the periodic table is attributed to the greater total number of electrons.

The greater the total number of electrons the more reactive the metals as their outermost electrons (the valence electrons which are those that react) are located further from the nucleus and therefore they are held less strongly, which makes them react more easily.</span>

What are the two types of transmutations?
joja [24]
<span>Transmutation is the process of changing the substance, tangible or not, from one form to the other. It means the transformation of one element in the periodic table into another by one or a series of nuclear decays or reactions. One type of transmutation is nuclear transmutation. Nuclear transmutation is the conversion of one chemical element or isotope into another though nuclear reactions or nuclear decay. Second type of transmutation is artificial transmutation. Artificial transmutation occur in machinery that uses nough energy to cause changes in the nuclear structure of the elements.</span>
