Chlorine is a halogen and all halogens and oxygen, nitrogen and hydrogen are diatomics
kirza4 [7]3 years ago
4 0

Explanation:

Neon is in group 8/0, which means that it has a full outer shell. Atoms react to get a full outer shell but as neon already has a full outer shell, it doesn't react and stays monatomic.

However, chlorine is in group 7, so it needs 1 more electron to complete its outer shell, two chlorine atom share one electron each with each other so they have full outer shells. This is why chlorine is diatomic.

What is the balanced equation for the reaction of aqueous cesium sulfate and aqueous barium perchlorate?
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

The balanced chemical reaction is given as:

Cs_2SO_4(aq)+Ba(ClO_4)_2(aq)\rightarrow BaSO_4(s)+2CsClO_4(aq)

Explanation:

When aqueous cesium sulfate and aqueous barium perchlorate are mixed together it gives white precipitate barium sulfate and aqueous solution od cesium perchlorate.

The balanced chemical reaction is given as:

Cs_2SO_4(aq)+Ba(ClO_4)_2(aq)\rightarrow BaSO_4(s)+2CsClO_4(aq)

According to reaction, 1 mole of cesium sulfate reacts with 1 mole of barium perchlorate to give 1 mole of a white precipitate of barium sulfate and 2 moles of cesium perchlorate.

In 1939, the use of DDT (a powerful synthetic chemical) as an insecticide was discovered. The United States adopted its widespre
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Main advantages of DDT are the insecticide property and the knoledge about its chemical synthesis.

Explanation:

At that time in 1939 it was discovered that DDT have insecticide properties. It is a useful property because it allows inhibition of insects populations in large areas. Killing insects will reduce the diseases transmitted by them as  typhus and malaria. More over you prevent the destruction of the agricultural crops by the harmful insects.

However the synthesis of the molecule was known way back in 1874. From that time it was plenty of time in which chemistry knowledge evolved so the synthesis at kilograms scale was implemented. High quantities of DDT molecule become available for the market so that in 1945 was available as agricultural insecticide.

It was discovered that DDT have bad effects for human health and also over time some insects developed resistance and their were not affected anymore by the molecule.

You may find the chemical structure of DDT in the attached figure.

A 25.0-mL sample of 0.150 M hydrazoic acid, HN3, is titrated with a 0.150 M NaOH solution. What is the pH after 13.3 mL of base
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

pH ≅ 4.80

Explanation:

Given that:

the volume of HN₃ = 25 mL = 0.025 L

Molarity of HN₃ = 0.150 M

number of moles of HN₃ = 0.025 × 0.150

number of moles of HN₃ =  0.00375  mol

Molarity of NaOH = 0.150 M

the volume of NaOH = 13.3 mL = 0.0133

number of moles of NaOH = 0.0133× 0.150

number of moles of NaOH = 0.001995 mol

The chemical equation for the reaction of this process can be written as:

HN_3 + OH- ---> N^-_{3} + H_2O

1 mole of hydrazoic acid react with 1 mole of hydroxide to give nitride ion and water

thus the new number of moles of HN₃ = 0.00375 - 0.001995 = 0.001755 mol

Total volume used in the reaction =  0.025 +  0.0133 = 0.0383  L

Concentration of HN_3 = \dfrac{0.001755}{0.0383} = 0.0458 M

Concentration of N^{-}_3 = \dfrac{ 0.001995 }{0.0383} = 0.0521 M

GIven that :

Ka = 1.9 x 10^{-5}

Thus; it's pKa = 4.72

pH =4.72 +  log(\dfrac{ \ 0.0521}{0.0458})

pH =4.72 + log(1.1376)

pH =4.72 + 0.05598

pH =4.77598

pH ≅ 4.80

If a plane travels at a speed of 600 km/h, how long<br> would it take to travel a distance of 300 km
iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

30 minutes

Explanation:

If the plane is going 600 km/h

divide the length and time and it would be half of that, so 300 km would take 30 mins.
