Interhalogen Compounds

Reaction between two different halogens Types: XX’, XX’3, XX’5 and XX’7 X – Halogen of larger size, more electropositive X’- Halogen of smaller size Preparation: Direct combination. Product depends on the concentrations of the reactants. Cl₂ + F₂ → 2ClF Cl₂ + 3F₂ → 2ClF₃ Properties: Covalent molecules Diamagnetic Volatile solids/liquids {except ClF which is Read more about Interhalogen Compounds[…]

Contact Process

Sulphuric Acid

Sulfuric acid is produced from sulfur, oxygen and water by contact process.  1. Contact Process: ⇒ Sulfur is burned to produce sulfur dioxide. S (s) + O2 (g) → SO2 (g) ⇒ This is then oxidized to sulfur trioxide using oxygen in the presence of a vanadium oxide catalyst. This reaction is reversible and the formation of the sulfur trioxide is exothermic. So Read more about Sulphuric Acid[…]

Laws of Electromagnetic Induction

Faraday’s laws of electromagnetic induction-Magnitude of induced e.m.f. Whenever the magnetic flux linked with a closed circuit changes, an e.m.f. is induced in the circuit. The induced e.m.f. lasts so long as the change in flux lasts. The magnitude of the induced e.m.f. is directly proportional to rate of change of flux linkage or rate Read more about Laws of Electromagnetic Induction[…]

Oxides of nitrogen

Oxides of nitrogen range from N2O (oxidation state of nitrogen +1) through NO, N2O3, NO2, N2O4, N2O5 in which the oxidation state of nitrogen is +5 1. NO2– Nitrogen dioxide: ⇒ NO2 is an intermediate in the industrial synthesis of nitric acid. ⇒ This reddish – brown toxic gas has a characteristic sharp, biting odor and is a prominent air pollutant. It absorbs light and leads to the yellow-brown Read more about Oxides of nitrogen[…]
