Chlorine reacts very violently. What about its electron shells makes this the case?

Chemistry
1 answer:
guapka [62]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

it readily gains another electron. the outer electron shell is closer to the nucleus, than iodine for example, which makes it less shielded (greater attraction for another electron = violent reaction to get it)

The total pressure in a mixture of gases is equal to the partial pressures of
baherus [9]

Answer:

"The total pressure in a mixture of gases is equal to the sum of partial pressures of each gas"

Explanation:

Dalton's law of partial pressures state that, in a mixture of gases, the total pressure is equal to the sum of the partial pressure exerted by each gas of the mixture. The equation is:

Total pressure = Partial pressure Gas 1 + Partial pressure Gas 2 + .... + Partial pressure Gas n

To complete the sentence we can say:

"The total pressure in a mixture of gases is equal to the sum of partial pressures of each gas"

What assumptions do we make in order to use the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation? a. Both the weak acid and its conjugate base are
zepelin [54]

Answer:

The final and initial concentration of the acid and it's conjugate base are approximately equal, that is we use the weak acid approximation.

Explanation:

The Henderson-Hasselbalch is used to calculate the pH of a buffer solution. It depends on the weak acid approximation.

Since the weak acid ionizes only to a small extent, then we can say that [HA] ≈ [HA]i

Where [HA] = final concentration of the acid and [HA]i = initial concentration of the acid.

It also follows that [A^-] ≈ [A^-]i where [A^-] and[A^-]i refer to final and initial concentrations of the conjugate base hence the answer above.

What is going to happen to a balloon filled with helium that is left in a car over night when the temperature drops approximatel
Scilla [17]

Answer:

<u><em>When balloon filled with the helium gas is left in the car at night along with the decrease in temperature the size of the balloon will get smaller or it will look like little deflated</em></u>.The above observation can be explained on the basis of Charles law:The law states that 'under constant pressure ,the volume occupied by the gas is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas'. (At constant pressure)Temperature desecrate volume will also decreases and vice versa.So, with decrease in temperature at night the temperature of the gas in the balloon will also get decreased due to which the volume of the balloon will also get decreased.

A chlorine atom has a diameter of 175 picometers (pm). Please write the diameter, in metered, in scientific notation.
IrinaVladis [17]
The answer is 1.75 x 10¹⁰ m.
Scientific notation<span> refers to a mathematical expression that is  used to represent a decimal number between 1 and 10 multiplied by ten, or we can say that to write a large numbers using less digits. 
Diameter of chlorine atom = </span><span>175 picometers (pm) 
</span>175 pm = <span>0.000000000175 m
in scientific notation we will write </span>0.000000000175 m as <span>1.75 x 10</span>¹⁰ m
