The halogens are five non-metallic elements found in group 17 of the periodic table. The term "halogen" means "salt-former" and compounds containing halogens are called "salts". All halogens have 7 electrons in their outer shells, giving them an oxidation number of -1.
The reaction occurs in a similar way as magnesium does, but much less vigorous. Strong heating is required to make iron powder burn in oxygen. The reaction gives out a yellow showery sparks and produces a black solid. iron reacts with dilute hydrocloric acid to give iron chloride and hydrogen gas.
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>
= 3032.15 kPa
<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
Using the equation;
PV = nRT , where P is the pressure,. V is the volume, n is the number of moles and T is the temperature and R is the gas constant, 0.08206 L. atm. mol−1.
Volume = 7.5 L, T = 274 +273 = 547 K, N = 5 moles
Therefore;
Pressure = nRT/V
= (5 × 0.08206 × 547)/7.5 L
= 29.925 atm
But; 1 atm = 101325 pascals
Hence; Pressure = 3032150.63 pascals
<u>= 3032.15 kPa</u>
