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

<span>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.

What is the concentration of the murexide soution with a transmittance of 28.65%. (molar absorptivity = 3847)

Ainat [17]

Answer:

The concentration of the murexide solution is 0.0000745 M

Explanation:

From Beer-Lambert's law,

A = εlc

A = Absorbance = 28.65% = 0.2865

ε = molar absorptivity = 3847 M/cm

l = path length = 1cm

c = concentration in mol/L = ?

c = A/εl = 0.2865/(3847×1) = 0.0000745 mol/L

Hope this Helps!

What is the correct formula for the compound formed between sodium and iodine based on their positions in the periodic table?

Naddika [18.5K]

Sodium (Na) has a +1 charge and Iodine ( I ) has a -1 charge. To create a molecule of sodium iodide the charges will need to balance.

Because the charges on anion and cation are the same; the molecular formula will be NaI

If the volume of a gas container at 32 degrees Celsius changes from 1.55 L to 755 mL, what will the final temperature be?

QveST [7]

So to solve this you need to know Charles’s law which is: V1/T1=V2/T2. Where T1 and V1 is the initial volume and Temperature and V2 and T2 is the temperature and volume afterwards. So first plug in the numbers you are given. V1= 1.55L T1= 32C° V2= 755mL T2=?. Since your volumes are two different units you change 755mL to be in L so that would be 0.755 L. And since your temp isn’t in Kelvin you do 273+32= 305K°. You then would rearrange your equation to solve for T2 which is V2T1/V1. Then you plug in your numbers (0.755L)(305K)/1.55L. Then you solve and would be 148.5645161 —> 1.49 x 10^2 K

Which of the following describes the correct order for relative solubility of minerals in sedimentary rocks?

NARA [144]

Answer:

Evaporate minerals are more soluble than calcite and quartz.

Explanation:

Evaporate minerals are the water soluble minerals which at higher concentration precipitate out and crystallized forming rocks.

example of chemicals present are:

chlorides and sulphates.

Quartz is silica (very less soluble, or insoluble)

Calcite is calcium carbonate, again an insoluble salt.

Thus

Evaporate minerals are more soluble than calcite and quartz.
