What commercially available compound is used to generate cl2?

Chemistry

Kipish [7]3 years ago

Hello!

The commercially available compound that is used to generate Cl₂ is Sodium Hypochlorite

<h2>Why?</h2>

Sodium Hypochlorite is present in commercial bleach. Its chemical formula is NaClO.

Sodium Hypochlorite can react with acids (which can be present in vinegar, glass and window cleaners, drain cleaners or lime, calcium and rust removal products) to form Chlorine gas as shown by the following reaction (for a generic acid HA)

NaClO(aq) + HA(aq) → H₂O(aq) + Cl₂(g) + NaA(aq)

Chlorine gas is very toxic, so bleach should never be mixed with anything but water.

Have a nice day!

Explain why diamond has a high melting point
kicyunya [14]

Answer:

Each carbon atom is covalently bonded to 4 other carbon atoms in diamond. A large amount of energy is required to split these atoms apart. This is because of the fact that covalent bonds are strong.
