3 weird / easy (maybe) questions, but i still don't get them

OpenStudy (somy):

heeeelp plz T_T @emcrazy14 @Kainui @aaronq @chmvijay @thushananth01 @shreehari499 guysss help me pleaseee!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Somy for Question Number 35 you must figure out the 3rd product first

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Reaction1 is ClO- Reaction 2 is 5Cl- Reaction 3 is HNO2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Like in 1, see the oxidation state of Cl on reactant side is 0 in Cl2.

OpenStudy (somy):

here for disproportionation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but it turns +1 in ClO-

OpenStudy (somy):

wait i get 1 and 2, but 3 how did u know that the last one will be HNO2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Balance the equation see the amount of N and H and O on both side of the equation

OpenStudy (somy):

owhhhhhhhhh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea and now you see the change in charge you will notice Oxidation and reduction is happening at the same time in the same reaction for all the 1,2 and 3 reactions :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Kainui thank youuu! :DD

OpenStudy (somy):

okay, then can u tell me one thing, disproportionation is basically oxidation as well as reduction of the same element in product side? @KL-RC @Kainui

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yup

OpenStudy (somy):

ok hurry to skype =_=

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol kkk :P

OpenStudy (somy):

c'mon next question then?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

question 40?

OpenStudy (somy):

whichever u get

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok I think I know why it's 1 for Q 40 It's because Halogenalkane are used as flame retardants

OpenStudy (anonymous):

see pg 235 of your book :P

OpenStudy (somy):

yeah but why? because of which property?

OpenStudy (somy):

oh ok wait

OpenStudy (anonymous):

There is a part of the passage in pg 236 that says "The strength of the C-F bond means that it can be used as high temperatures"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If you read the usage of halogenalkanes in your book you will see that option 2 and 3 does not makes sense

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Halogenoalkanes are not very reactive and burn less readily because there are fewer C-H bonds.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes!! :D @emcrazy14

OpenStudy (anonymous):

For the 3rd question, you must first remember that in a hydrogen (H) atom, there is only one proton and one electron. There are no neutrons. So in OH-, there are a total of 8+1= 9 protons; 8+1+1=10 electrons (The extra 1 is due to the -ve charge which means it has gained an electron) And, finally just 8 neutrons of the O atom.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

In the deuterium (D) atom, there is one proton, one electron and one neutron. So you can work out the total number of protons, electrons and neutrons for each of the other species in a similar way.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea in that case A is absolutely out of the option because nothing is more than the other value

OpenStudy (somy):

owkkaaay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you @emcrazy14 :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yw. (:

OpenStudy (somy):

thnx @emcrazy14 :)
