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!

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.

where P is pressure, V is volume, n is number of moles, R is universal gas constant, and T is temperature. From the equation, if n, R, and T are constant, there is an inverse relationship between P and V. From the given choices, the container with the greatest pressure would be the 50 mL.

Answer:

In the attached image the Lewis equation is shown where it is shown how two oxygens react with two hydrogens to meet the octet of the electrons.

Explanation:

Hydrogen peroxide is one of the most named chemicals since it is not only sold as "hydrogen peroxide" in pharmacies but it is also one of the great weapons of immune defense cells to defend ourselves against anaerobic bacteria.

The disadvantage of this compound is that when dividing it forms free oxygen radicals that are considered toxic or aging for our body.

The easiest way to determine whether a process is exothermic or endothermic is to note the change in temperature in a calorimete

Kryger [21]

Answer:

In the calorimeter, water is the exothermic. The salt LiCI, which will dissolve, is the endothermic. The final temperature of the water after the dissolution of LiCI was lower than the initial temperature, meaning the process is exothermic. In the microscopic view of the disspolution of LiCI, water molecules were seen to move slowly as they gained energy.

Explanation:

Exothermic is a process in which heat is released during the process. Endothermic reactions absorbs heat from surrounding during a chemical process. The dissolution of salt into water is an exothermic reaction. During this process heat is release and water molecules are broken down which are surrounded by salt ions.
