What are ALL full chemical reactions that ensue for each of the following disinfectants (may be more than one for each): (5 points) Cl2 (g) at pH 9

Sagot :

Answer:

The reactions that might ensue are

Cl[tex]_{2}[/tex](g) + H[tex]_{2}[/tex]O ----------  > HOCl + HCl

 HOCl -------- > [tex]H^+[/tex](aq) + O[tex]CI^-[/tex](aq)

Cl2(g) + [tex]OH^-[/tex](aq) ----- > O[tex]CI^-[/tex](aq) + HCl

Explanation:

The Disinfectant Given is

CI2 (g) at PH 9

Determine the chemical reactions that might ensue

due to the High concentration of [tex]H^{+} (aq)[/tex] the formation of [tex]OCI^-[/tex](aq) will be better and this will decrease the power of the disinfectant.

Hence the chemical reactions that might ensue can be represented below as :

Cl[tex]_{2}[/tex](g) + H[tex]_{2}[/tex]O ----------  > HOCl + HCl

            HOCl -------- > [tex]H^+[/tex](aq) + O[tex]CI^-[/tex](aq)

Cl2(g) + [tex]OH^-[/tex](aq) ----- > O[tex]CI^-[/tex](aq) + HCl
