<span>Reaction: CI2 + H2O    ---->  HCIO + HCI

Oxidations states:

The oxitation state of Cl2 = 0, because the oxidation state of an atom alone or a molucule with one kind of atom is always 0.

The oxidation state of Cl in HClO is +1 because the oxidation state of H is + 1, the oxidation state of O is - 2, and the molecule is neutral, so  +1 + 1 - 2 = 0

The oxidation state of Cl in HCl is - 1, because the oxidation state of H is +1 and the molecule is neutral, so - 1 + 1 = 0.

Also, you shall remember that when an atom increases its oxidation state is is oxidized and when an atoms reduces its oxidations state it is reduced.

With that you conclude that the right option is the last statement: </span>Cl has an oxidation number of 0 in Cl2. It is then reduced to CI- with an oxidation number of –1 in HCl and is oxidized to Cl+ with an oxidation number +1 in HClO.

If the pH of a solution is 5, what is the hydrogen ion concentration?
Gnoma [55]

Yo sup??

We know that

pH=-log[H+]

[H+]=10^(-pH)

pH=5

therefore

[H+]=10^(-5)

The medium is acidic

Hope this helps.

When a substance is entering a phase change, the gain or loss of heat is a result of:______.
nydimaria [60]

When a substance is entering a phase change, the gain or loss of heat is a result of energy gained or lost in forming or breaking intermolecular interaction.

The constant temperatures occur when a substance is undergoing a phase transition.  If heat is removed from a substance , such as in freezing and condensation , then the process is exothermic . In this instance , heat is decreasing the speed of the molecules causing then move slower.

Example : liquid to solid and gas to liquid .

These changes release heat to the surrounding.

Stells [14]

Answer:

Electric Current

This is a flow of electrons (such as the flow of electrons in a wire to light up a lamp).

Insulator

These stop the electricity from flowing (think rubber and glass).

Resistance

This is slowing the flow of electrons (the current) and where some of the electrons' energy gets converted into heat.

Conductor

These allow electricity to flow easily through them (think copper and aluminum).

If a balloon containing 3000 L of gas at 39 C and 99 k Pa rises to an altitude where the pressure is 45.5 kPa and the temperatur
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

The new volume of the balloon will be 6046.28 L

Explanation:

Initial pressure (P1) = 99 kpa

initial volume (V1) = 3000 L

Initial temperature = 39 C = 39 + 273 = 312 K

Final pressure (P2) = 45.5 kpa

Final temperature = 16 C = 16 +273 = 289K

Final volume = ????

To calculate the final volume using the general gas equation

                  P1 V1 / T1  = P2 V2 / T2

make V2 the subject of the formular

                   V2 = 99000 ×3000× 289 / 45500×312

                   V2 = 85833000 /14196

                     V2 = 6046.28 litres
