In general, if a reaction is spontaneous, the reactants possess more free energy than the products.
<u>TRUE </u>
FALSE
Answer:
So sorry if I was wrong but I think it's B. Because from the source states,
https://socratic.org/questions/which-group-on-the-periodic-table-is-the-least-reactive-why
"The least reactive elements are those who have a full outermost valence shell ie they have 8 electrons in the outer shell so elements such as helium, neon, radon or the transition elements."
Hey I tried but could not find your answer, but maybe you could try to calculate the average of bpts of the different elements in the compound to find the boiling point. And when you know the bpt, you can find out whether it is a liquid or gas. But after searching a lot, I found it was a solid. Good luck!
Cl2(g) -------> Cl-(aq) + ClO-(aq)
2e- + Cl2(g) -------> 2Cl-(aq) [reduction]
4OH-(aq) + Cl2(g) -----------> 2ClO-(aq) + 2H2O(l) + 2e- [oxidation]

2OH-(aq) + Cl2(g) --------> Cl-(aq) + ClO-(aq) + H2O(l)
