Is chlorine an oxidizing agent

Answer 1

Ozone present in the stratosphere of the earth's atmosphere is called as good ozone. It protects us from the harmful UV light of the sun.Ozone present in the troposphere is also called as bad ozone. It is also a

green house gas. It is the major constituent of the urban smog.

Answer 2

Ozone is a very good oxidizing agent for certain compounds. Ozone will not touch hydrogen or methane, but loves sulfur, double carbon-carbon bonds, and most common metals found dissolved in water. Additionally, it attacks cell walls in bacteria, and DNA in bacteria and viruses.

Answer 3

No. Helium is perhaps the most inert gas on earth, which means it does not react with any other substance. That's the reason we don't find any helium compounds. The inertness of helium is because of it's atomic structure.

A good oxidizing substance should give off oxygen when reacting with another substance, which means that an oxidizing agent should be a compound which contains oxygen in it's molecular structure. Since Helium is a highly inert element (with atomic number 2), it can neither react with with other substances nor can it form compounds with oxygen. This is the reason helium was used in zeppelins so that they do not catch fire (it is also fire retardent), it is also used as an electrical insulator since it does not catch fire.

Answer 4

Short answer, YES.

Acetone is an organic compound. Most organic compounds can be oxidized by ozone as they contain carbon that can be removed with sufficient oxidation potential.

While acetone can be oxidized by ozone the reaction is slow. In my experience the combination of ozone and H2O2 or ozone and UV light to form the OH- is used to oxidize acetone efficiently.

Answer 5

Yes, it is a very powerful oxidizing agent

Answer 6

Yes, somewhat stronger than ozone (both gasses).

Answer 7

Yes.
