Why chlorine is more reactive than hydrogen​

Chemistry
1 answer:
Lynna [10]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

<em>Hi Todoroki here!!! </em>

Explanation:

Chlorine has the electron configuration [Ne]3s 2 3p 5, with the seven electrons in the third and outermost shell acting as its valence electrons. Like all halogens, it is thus one electron short of a full octet, and is hence a strong oxidising agent, reacting with many elements in order to complete its outer shell.

<em>Your welcome!!</em>

ELECTROLYSIS OF MOLTEN NaCl IS DONE IN A DOWNS CELL OPERATING AT 7.0 VOLTS AND 4.0X10^4A. HOW MUCH Na(s) AND Cl2(g) CAN BE PRODU
Greeley [361]

Answer:

Mass of sodium produced = 2.74 × 10⁵ g of Na

Mass of chlorine produce = 4.24 × 10⁵ g of Cl₂

Explanation:

In the electrolysis of molten NaCl as described above, the quantity of charge used is given by the formula, Q = I × t

Where I isnthe current passed in amperes and t is time in seconds.

Q = 4.0 × 10⁴ A × (8 × 60 × 60) s = 1.152 × 10⁹ C

Equation for the discharge of sodium is; Na+ + e- ---> Na (s)

One mole of electrons is required to discharge one mole of Na

One mole of electron = 1 faraday = 96500 C

One mole of Na has a mass of 23 g

96500 C produces 23 g of Na

1.152 × 10⁹ C will produce 23 g × 1.152 × 10⁹ C / 96500 C = 2.74 × 10⁵ g of Na

Equation for the discharge of chlorine gas is; 2 Cl- ---> Cl₂(g) + 2e-

Two mole of electrons are required to discharge one mole of chlorine gas

Two moles of electron = 2 faraday = 2 × 96500 C = 193000

One mole of Cl₂ has a mass of 71 g

193000 C produces 71 g of Cl₂

1.152 × 10⁹ C will produce 71 g × 1.152 × 10⁹ C / 193000 C = 4.24 × 10⁵ g of Cl₂

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option A. It is by the process of photosynthesis that would help counteract with human interactions. The carbon dioxide emitted by human activities can be used by this process to produce more oxygen.

Ionic bond is a chemical bond formed by the complete transfer of electrons between two atoms. The atom that loses electrons gains a positive charge (cation) and that which accepts electrons gains a negative charge (anion). Now, electronegativity is a parameter that measures the tendency of an atom to accept electrons. In the context of ionic bonding, two elements which show a significant difference in their electronegativity values form ionic bonds.

In the given examples, the difference in electronegativity is greatest between K  and Br i.e. 0.8 and 2.8 respectively with a difference of 2.0. This also makes sense since K and Br are on the extreme ends of the periodic table. Hence, potassium with a valence electron configuration of 4s1 will lose its s electron to Br (4s24p6) and form an ionic molecule K⁺Br⁻

Ans E) potassium and bromine

According to reference table adv-10, which is the strongest reducing agent?
Mumz [18]
Li(s)    (answer  A)   
    Li  is  strongest  reducing  agent  because  of  the   lowest  standard reduction  potential.  when  something  is  oxidized, it  reduces  another  substance,  becoming a  reducing.Hence  Lithium  is  strongest  reducing  agent. Reducing  agent   is  stronger  when  it  has  a  more  positive  oxidation potential.
