Q

What state are all the diatomic elements?

A

They are all gases with exceptions:

Br2 is liquid at room temperature since the melting point is -7.2 degrees Celsius and room temperature is above that at 25 degrees celsius, so it is not a solid. In addition, the boiling point of Br2 is 58.8 degrees Celsius, so it is not a gas at room temperature since room temperature is lower than it’s boiling point.

I2 is either liquid or solid in chemical equations. At room temperature it is solid since it does not melt until 113.7 degrees celcius. 113.7 degrees Celsius is melting point. 184.3 degrees celcius is the boiling point.

Hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, and chlorine are all gases at room temperature. As such, they are called diatomic gases or elemental gases.Bromine is typically a liquid at room temperature, and iodine is solid (but can be liquid depending on several factors)

Some other elements can form diatomic molecules, but the bonds are very weak and unstable. They don’t stay diatomic for long.

Only the seven diatomic elements form strong bonds and appear in this form almost always

Q

When is an ionic compound shown as aqueous?

A

When it is very soluble and dissolved in water. Use the solubility chart to look up if it is soluble in water. If it is very soluble then it will be marked as aqueous providing that water is actually there during the experiment.

Q

How do car batteries work? What are the chemicals involved?

A

They contain sulfuric acid (H2SO4(aq)) which is a strong electrolyte which reacts with solid lead (Pb(s)) and lead (IV) oxide (PbO2(s)) to produce electricity.

The products of this reaction are lead(II) sulfate in solution and water

PbO2 is solid, dark brown, has a crystalline structure, and is insoluble in water.

This is an example of an acid and a metal reacting. It is also an example of a double replacement reaction and thus it must be occurring in solution since all double replacement reactions must occur in solution. It is a neutralization reaction as well since an acid is a reactant and a salt and water are produced.

Q

What are the characteristics of chemical reactions?

A
  • Production of new substances
  • Flow of energy
