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!.

For the following reactions, write a balanced equation using half-reactions and calculate the voltage to be expected.

Iteru [2.4K]

a) $2Na(s) +2H_2O(I)$ → $2Na^+(aq) + OH^-(aq)+ H_2(g)$

b) $2Ag (s) +2H^(aq)$ → $2 Ag^+ (aq) +H_2(g)$

<h3>What are half-reactions?</h3>

The half-reaction method is a way to balance redox reactions. It involves breaking the overall equation down into an oxidation part and a reduction part.

$2Na(s) +2H_2O(I)$ → $2Na^+(aq) + OH^-(aq)+ H_2(g)$

$E^0 cell = E^0 (reduction) - E^0 (oxidation)$

= $E^0(\frac{H_2O}{H_2}, OH^-) -E^0(Na^+/Na)$

= -0.83 - (-2.71) =1.88V

$2Ag (s) +2H^(aq)$ → $2 Ag^+ (aq) +H_2(g)$

$E^0cell$ = $E^0(H^+/H_2) -E^0(Ag^+/Ag)$

$E^0cell$ =-0. - (0.8) =-0.8V

Determine if the results of the following word problem adhere to the Law of Conservation of Mass. 1. A chemist combines 4.9 g of

KiRa [710]

Answer: The results agree with the law of conservation of mass

Explanation:

The law of conservation of mass states that mass is neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction. On the reactant side, the total mass of reactants is 14.3g and the total product masses is also 14.3g. That implies that no mass was !most in the reaction. The sum of masses on the left hand side corresponds with sum of masses on the right hand side of the reaction equation.

Identify the variables in the investigation: An investigation was done with an electromagnetic system made from a battery and wi

kondaur [170]

Answer:

Independent: sizes of nails

Dependent: number of paper clips

Controlled: Battery, wire and type of nails

Explanation:

An independent variable is a variable which when changes does not the effect the results of the experiment. It does not depends upon the dependent variable.

A dependent variable is defined as a variable which is affected when the independent variable is changed by the researcher or the experimenter. It depends greatly upon the independent variable.

While a controlled variable is that variable whose value is not changed in an experiment. It contains all the constants.

In the context,

the independent variable are : sizes of nails

the dependent variables are : number of paper clips

the Controlled variables are: Battery, wire and type of nails

Hydrogen produced from a hydrolysis reaction was collected over water and the following data was compiled.

Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

0.00358 mol

Explanation:

1) Data:

a) V = 93.90 ml

b) T = 28°C

c) P₁ = 744 mmHg

d) P₂ = 28.25 mmHg

d) n = ?

2) Conversion of units

a) V = 93.90 ml × 1.000 liter / 1,000 ml = 0.09390 liter

b) T = 28°C = 28 + 273.15 K = 301.15 K

c) P₁ = 744 mmHg × 1 atm / 760 mmHg = 0.9789 atm

d) P₂ = 28.5 mmHg × 1 atm / 760 mmHg = 0.0375 atm

3) Chemical principles and formulae

a) The total pressure of a mixture of gases is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of each gas. Hence, the partical pressure of the hydrogen gas collected is equal to the total pressure less the vapor pressure of water.

b) Ideal gas equation: pV = nRT

4) Solution:

a) Partial pressure of hydrogen gas: 0.9789 atm - 0.0375 atm = 0.9414 atm

b) Moles of hygrogen gas:

pV = nRT ⇒ n = pV / (RT) =

n = (0.9414 atm × 0.09390 liter) / (0.0821 atm-liter /K-mol × 301.15K) =

n = 0.00358 mol (which is rounded to 3 significant figures) ← answer
