Chemistry
1 answer:
Gekata [30.6K]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

They're never found as individual elements in nature because they are so reactive.

Explanation:

Halogens are a highly reactive group of elements. They are usually found combined in nature.

  • Because each of the elements has seven electrons in the outer shells of their atoms the elements are all univalent and also acceptors of electrons.
  • They are all non-metals and oxidizing agents.
  • This makes the elements in this group highly reactive and combine readily with other species in nature.

Equal volumes of 0.1m naoh and 0.1m hcl are thoroughly mixed. the resulting solution has a ph closest to
son4ous [18]
Lets assume x volume of NaOH and x volume of HCl are added together.
NaOH ---> Na⁺ + OH⁻
NaOH is a strong base therefore it completely ionizes and releases OH⁻ ions into the medium
HCl ---> H⁺ + Cl⁻
HCl is a strong base and completely ionizes and releases H⁺ ions in to the medium. number of NaOH moles in 1 L - 0.1 mol
Therefore in x L - 0.1 /1 * x = 0.1x moles of NaOH present 
Similarly in HCl x L contains - 0.1x moles of HCl
H⁺ + OH⁻ ---> H₂O
Due to complete ionisation, 0.1x moles of H⁺ ions and 0.1x moles of OH⁻ ions react to form 0.1x moles of H₂O. Therefore all H⁺ and OH⁻are completely used up and yield water molecules.
Then at this point the H⁺ and OH⁻ ions in the medium come from the weak dissociation of water. This is equivalent to 1 x 10⁻⁷M
pH = -log [H⁺]
pH = -log [10⁻⁷]
pH = 7
pH is therefore equals to 7 which means the solution is neutral

What type of matter can be physically separated
Aneli [31]

Matter can be broken down into two categories: pure substances and mixtures. Pure substances are further broken down into elements and compounds. Mixtures are physically combined structures that can be separated into their original components. A chemical substance is composed of one type of atom or molecule
