Hello!

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

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!

<span>Bleach and ammonia can be used to make cl2. Bleach is commercially available and so people should be very careful during these experiments or even when mixing things in the household.</span>

Answer:

im not sure but I hope this helps

Explanation:

I believe the equivalents is just the moles reactant/moles limiting reactant

water has a denisty of 1 g/mL. 1 L is 1000 ml so there are 1000g/L.

the molar mass of water is 18g/mol if you use the Liters in the equation above you can find the number of grams present. divide this number you found by 18 to find the moles.

now take the amount of the other reactant given and divide it by its own molar mass. this will give you the number of moles of that reactant.

divide the moles of water by the moles of the reactant and that is the equivalent.

to find the normality you take this number and divide it by the number of liters.

what is the order of decreasing bond length for a C-C bond composed of the following molecular orbitals?I. sp^3 - sp^3II. sp^2 -

skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

The decreasing order of bond length in the carbon - carbon bonds will be:

$C-C>C=C>C\equiv C$

Explanation:

Bond length is defined as average distance between two nuclei of bonded atoms in a molecule.Bond length is inversely proportional to the number of bonds present between two atoms.

$\text{Bond length} \propto \frac{1}{\text{Number of bonds}}$ ...[1]

Bond energy is defied as amount of energy required to break apart the bond of 1 mole of molecule into their individual atom. Bond energy is directly proportional to the number of bonds present between two atoms.

$\text{Bond Energy} \propto \text{Number of bonds}$ ..[2]
