What is a reducing agent
Donating an electron to another atom or molecule
What is the trend in reducing ability
Reducing agent becomes stronger going down the group as it’s easier to lose an electron
How does sodium chloride and h2so4 react
Create hydrogen chloride gas and sodiumhydrogensulfate
What are the reaction for bromine and sulfuric acid
Same as chlorine
Br2+2e-<2br-
H2so4 + 2h+ 2e-
What does chlorine react with water to form
Chlorine acid and hydrochloride acid
Hclo and hcl
What does chlorine react with water in the sun
2Cl2 and 2h20> 4hcl and 02
What does chlorine acid do
Kills bacteria making pools and drinking water safe also used in bleach
What is alternative to water and cl2
Sodiumchlorate and water
The sodium chlorite dissolved and forms na oh and hclo
What does cold dilute sodium hydroxide react with chlorine to form
It forms sodium chlorite and it is used in bleach
Cl2 and 2naoh > naclo + nacl + h20
