Chlorine

1 There was no smell 2 When I pour the oil in the water I noticed the oil started to bubble to the top. So I got to stir the oil that’s when there were smaller bubbles. As I smell the water there was no smell to the water. 3 Pouring the vinegar in the water there was one change that I notice the water was darker after I added the vinegar. There was no smell even though I added to the water. 4 When I added the detergent to the water it started to look cloudy and there was bubbles. 5 I notice the…

reactive, thus unstable, interhalogens that seemingly violate the octet rule. Synthesis reaction: KClO3 + I2 + 6HCl → KCl + 2ICl3 + 3H2O Decomposition reaction: I2Cl6 → 2ICl + 2Cl2 The halogens used within this experiment consisted of Iodine and Chlorine to produce an oxidizing reagent Iodine trichloride. Due to electron orbitals and their interactions…

The use of chlorine has many benefits without a doubt probably the most recognized use is for swimming pools to keep the water clean and clear of disease producing organisms. Chlorine has also been used as a poisonous gas in the past wars. It has been "classified as a choking agent. When inhaled in its concentrated form, it causes a person's lungs to fill with liquid leading to asphyxiation"(Goldman 2016, para 6). How can a chemical such as this be so needed to fight diseases and at the…

As you can see, the data recovered from this experiment is very unusual. This is the interpretation and analysis the experiment regarding the cleaning power of the chlorine bleach produced by Clorox and laundry detergent produced by Oxiclean. This interpretation is essential to understand the data and how effective each of the independent variables in this experiment are. As an analysis, there were many key points that made this data relevant. Regarding the coffee, both of the cleaners did quite…

CSX Train Derailment and Hazardous Leakage On May 1, 2016, a CSX freight train derailed causing a possible spill of the chemical contents it carried. According to the District of Columbia Fire and Emergency Medical Services department (DCFEMSD), the derailed train in northeastern Washington DC resulted in the leakage of hazardous chemical material by three cars (Washington, 2016). The total amount of cars sent outside the railroad in the derailment incident was however, confirmed to be 14…

Introduction Wilfred Owen joined the army in 1915, where he fought on the Western front, experiencing shellshock. Owen developed his war poetry by getting inspiration from Siegfried Sassoon who was a poet himself. (bbc.co.uk) Rupert Brooke was also a soldier who fought In World war 1, but did not experience it fully, due to his death in 1915, when the war was not over at all. Through the poems of Wilfred Owen and Rupert Brooke, form, structural devices, figurative language, and sound devices…

Chapter 2 LITERATURE SURVEY 2.1. Characteristics of Hydrogen Sulphide 2.1.1. Physical and Chemical Properties H2S is a colourless gas characterised by a rotten gas odour which is highly toxic. It is soluble in different liquids including water and alcohols. It is typically formed under deficit oxygen conditions in the presence of organic matter and sulphate compounds (WHO, 2003). Hydrogen Sulphide is also present in the atmosphere in the range of 0.0001-0.0002 ppm though it may vary with places…

1.0. Synopsis The objective of this experiment is to use the gravimetric method to determine the concentration of sulfate. Gravimetric analysis is a method used to determine the mass or concentration of a substance by measuring a change in mass. To determine the concentration of the sulfate, the precipitation of Barium sulfate is done first by adding the sulfate solution with hydrochloric acid, then heating while stirring it. Next is the washing and filtration of the Barium Sulfate precipitate,…

Introduction: The purpose of this experiment is to determine the product that is produced from sodium hypochlorite oxidizing 2-ethyl-1,3-hexanediol and this experiment is to also determine if sodium hypochlorite is a selective oxidizing agent. This reaction is an oxidation reaction. The reaction involves the removal hydrogens and sometimes the addition of oxygen. 2-ethyl-1,3-hexanediol will undergo an oxidation reaction to produce an unknown product (Scheme 1). (1) Scheme 1.…

Over the past year in 2016, the highest average temperature recorded on Earth was experienced 1. Many researchers believe this to be partially because of greenhouse gasses, including carbon dioxide 2. However, carbon dioxide is essential for the photosynthesis of plants, allowing plants to be successful autotrophs by using carbon dioxide, water, and energy from the sun to produce glucose and oxygen. One of the main sources of photosynthesis in a plant is in the leaves. When leaves decompose they…
