Chemistry
2 answers:
marta [7]2 years ago

Answer:

Hydrochloric acid (HCl) is commonly used for the neutralization of alkaline agents, as a bleaching agent, in food, textile, metal, and rubber industries. It is neutralized if released into the soil and it rapidly hydrolyzes when exposed to water. Skin exposure to low concentrations of hydrogen chloride gas or hydrochloric acid causes erythema and inflammation of the skin whereas high concentrations can cause severe chemical burns to the skin and mucous membranes.

Which elements have the most similar chemical properties?
Mumz [18]

Answer: K and Na

Explanation:

Potassium and Sodium have a chemical symbol of K and Na respectively.

They have similar chemical properties because both

- have only one valence electron,

- form univalent positive ion when they donate their lone outermost electron as shown below

Na --> Na+ + e-

K --> K+ + e-

- are good reducing agents

- react with cold water vigorously to liberate hydrogen gas and form alkalis, so they are known as alkali metals.

- K and Na are placed in Group 1 of the periodic table.

Thus, unlike the other pairs given, K and Na, have the most similar chemical properties
