Chlorine and oxygen form many different compounds, including CIO, and Cl2O3. How do the names of these compounds differentiate o

ne chlorine oxide from another?​

Bond [772]3 years ago

Answer:

We can mix two compounds and create a third that bears little resemblance to its parents. For instance, by mixing two parts of hydrogen gas with one of oxygen - liquid water is formed. We should not be misled by the fact that chlorine and chlorine dioxide share a word in common. The chemistries of the two compounds are completely different.

Chlorine and chlorine dioxide are both oxidizing agents (electron receivers). However, chlorine has the capacity to take in two electrons, whereas chlorine dioxide can absorb five. This means that mole for mole, ClO2 is 2.6 times more effective than chlorine.

If equal, if not greater importance is the fact that chlorine dioxide will not react with many organic compounds, and as a result, ClO2 does not produce environmentally dangerous chlorinated organics. For example; aromatic compounds have carbon atoms arranged in rings and they may have other atoms, such as chlorine, attached to these rings, to form a chlorinated aromatic - a highly toxic compound that persists in the environment long after it is produced.  

Chlorine dioxide's behaviour as an oxidizing agent is quite dissimilar. Like ozone, the predominant oxidation reaction mechanism for chlorine dioxide proceeds through a process known as free radical electrophilic (i.e. electron-attracting) abstraction rather than by oxidative substitution or addition (as in chlorinating agents such as chlorine or hypochlorite). This means that chlorinated organic compounds such as THMs and HAAs are not produced as a result of disinfection using chlorine dioxide

Hope this helps, have a nice day! :D

A proton is also known as this symbol, _____ ion.
mr Goodwill [35]
Hydrogen ion, strictly, the nucleus of a hydrogen atom separated from its accompanying electron. The hydrogen nucleus is made up of a particle carrying a unit positive electric charge, called a proton. The isolated hydrogen ion, represented by the symbol H+, is therefore customarily used to represent a proton.

Acetaldehyde shows two UV bands, one with a lmax of 289 nm ( 5 12) and one with a lmax of 182 nm ( 5 10,000). Which is the n p*
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

The bands are due to:

λmax = 289 nm n→π* transition (E = 12)

λmax = 182 nm π→π* transition (E=10000)

Explanation:

The two types of acetaldehyde transition are as follows:

n→π* and π→π*

From the attached diagram we have to:

ΔEn→π* < ΔEπ→π*

ΔEα(1/λ)

Thus:

λn→π* > λπ→π*

In n→π* spin forbidden, the intensity is low. Thus, the molar extinction E for n→π* is very low.

The same way, for π→π* spin allowed the intensity is high. Thus, the molar extinction coefficient E for π→π* is high too.

The bands are due to:

λmax = 289 nm n→π* transition (E = 12)

λmax = 182 nm π→π* transition (E=10000)

A sample of carbon dioxide gas collected at a pressure of 880 mm Hg and a temperature of 303 K has a mass of 26.9 g. The volume
trapecia [35]

Answer:

13.1dm³

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Pressure of gas  = 880mmHg

        760mmHg  = 1 atm

        880mmHg will give 1.16atm

Temperature  = 303k

Mass of gas = 26.9g

      Molar mass of CO₂   = 12 + 2(32)  = 44g/mol

       Number of moles  = mass/molar mass  = 26.9/44  = 0.61mole

Unknown:

Volume of the sample  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we use the ideal gas equation:

           PV  = nRT

P is the pressure

V is the volume

n is the number of moles

R is the gas constant  = 0.082atmdm³mol⁻¹k⁻¹

T is the temperature

        V  = \frac{nRT}{P}   = \frac{0.61 x 0.082 x 303}{1.16}    = 13.1dm³

What is the answer to number 6
faltersainse [42]
The answer is (D). The magnetic field is directly proportional to the number of coils. This is because, as you can see, as the number of coils goes up, the number of paper clips increases.
