Why are halogens so reactive?

2 answers:

8 0

Halogens reactivity decreases down the group, when halogens react it gains an electron to form a singly negative charged ion.

Halogens are reactive because they only need one additional electron to complete their octet. As it go down the group from Fl to Cl to Br to I the size of the atom increases due to an extra filled electron shell. The valence electrons are further and further away from the nucleus, the attraction of forces between the electrons and the nucleus become weaker and weaker

This means that has great capacity to react with other chemical elements in nature, reacting mainly with sodium, therefore, can only be findings in chemical compounds in most cases.

hope this helps!.

A student is given a sample of a blue copper sulfate hydrate. He weighs the sample in a dry covered porcelain crucible and got a

Nata [24]

Answer:

There are present 5,5668 moles of water per mole of CuSO₄.

Explanation:

The mass of CuSO₄ anhydrous is:

23,403g - 22,652g = 0,751g.

mass of crucible+lid+CuSO₄ - mass of crucible+lid

As molar mass of CuSO₄ is 159,609g/mol. The moles are:

0,751g × $\frac{1mol}{159,609g}$ = 4,7052x10⁻³ moles CuSO₄

Now, the mass of water present in the initial sample is:

23,875g - 0,751g - 22,652g = 0,472g.

mass of crucible+lid+CuSO₄hydrate - CuSO₄ - mass of crucible+lid

As molar mass of H₂O is 18,02g/mol. The moles are:

0,472g × $\frac{1mol}{18,02g}$ = 2,6193x10⁻² moles H₂O

The ratio of moles H₂O:CuSO₄ is:

2,6193x10⁻² moles H₂O / 4,7052x10⁻³ moles CuSO₄ = 5,5668

That means that you have 5,5668 moles of water per mole of CuSO₄.

I hope it helps!

Which agent most changes the earth's surface? O A. moving ice B. wave action O C. running water O D. tide action E. cloud moveme

Fudgin [204]

The correct answers are B. Clouds and D. Storm systems.

Explanation:

"Convection currents are the result of a physical-chemical process in which chemicals are heated and this decreases their density, causing their elevation. At the same time, the elements in the top sink because of lost temperature and increase in density, creating a cycle. According to the above, the correct answers are B Clouds and D. Storm Systems. Clouds are the result of a cycle of water, in which the water on the earth in a liquid state evaporates due to the caloric energy from the sun, changing to a gas state and go up until becoming droplets again in a process called condensation forming cloud. Once the cloud is very heavy and lost its temperature, it precipitates to the earth due to the force of gravity, and then the cycle starts again. Secondly, storm systems are a kind of cloud, those clouds develop vertically thanks to the convection process, in this, the same process occurs but the clouds have an internal air stream that makes that the clouds grow up vertically producing storms, those clouds are known as Cumulonimbus and Cumulus congestus. So, the correct answers are B. Clouds and D.Storm systems."

Vinegar is an acidic liquid. What is it made from?

Anika [276]

Answer:

Vinegar is made from the fermentation of dilute alcoholic liquids into acetic acid.

Explanation:

Vinegar is a sour tasting liquid which is produced by the fermentation of dilute alcoholic liquids such as cider, wine and beer.

It is a solution of acetic acid which is more formally also known as ethanoic acid.

The concentration of acetic acid in vinegar is variable as it is used for different purposes with different concentrations.
