CO2 gas is acidic in nature and forms carbonic acid in water so pH value becomes decreased (from 7 to downwards 6,5 or 4)

When fluorine gas is bubbled through a solution of sodium bromide the products are free bromine liquid and sodium fluoride in solution is?

The chemical reaction is: 2NaBr + F2 = 2NaF + Br2


Is the solution Distilled Water acidic alkaline or neutral?

Distilled water is theoretically neutralDistilled water is water that has many of its impurities removed through distillation.Distillation involves boiling the water and then condensing the steam into a clean container.Hypothetically, distilled water should always be at a neutral pH 7. Immediately upon being exposed to air, however, distilled water's pH decreases and becomes more acidic. Neutralizing distilled water is possible, but its neutral pH does not last.


What you see when carbon dioxide is bubbled through calcium hydroxide solution?

You will see a preciptate of Calcium Carbonate [CaCO3] The Calcium Hydroxied is said to turn 'Milky' or 'Chalky' The chalkyness so described is the water insoluble Calcium Carbonate being deposited as it is formed.


What reaction takes place when sulfur dioxide gas is bubbled through water?

So2 + h2o ===> h2so3


What 2 solutions can be used to test for carbon dioxide?

lime water turns milky in the presence of CO2 Limewater (a solution of Calcium hydroxide) - when carbon dioxide is blown through the solution, a precipitate of Calcium carbonate is produced. The solution is said to turn "milky" or "cloudy". Bromothymol blue (pH range 2.4 to 4.6) (red in colour) is added to distilled water, which turns it yellow. Carbon dioxide turns the resulting yellow solution green.

Single-replacement


Why does the color of aqueous potassium bromide change when chlorine gas is bubbled into it?

Chlorine is a stronger oxidizer than elemental Bromine. So, when yellowish chlorine gas is bubbled through the Bromide solution, a red colour is formed which is Bromine. Chlorine oxidizes Bromide ions to elemental Bromine while itself is reduced to Chloride ions. So, the total reaction is: Cl2 + Br- ----> Br2 + Cl-

Chlorine Gas is bubbled through a calcium bromide Solution what type of reaction is made?

Chlorine is a more reactive halogen than bromine, therefore, when chlorine gas is bubbled through a calcium bromide solution, the chlorine will take the place of the bromine. This is called an anionic single replacement (displacement) reaction. Cl2(g) + CaBr2(aq) --> Br2(l) + CaCl2(aq)


If chlorine gas is bubbled through an aqueous solution of sodium iodide the result is elemental iodide and aqueous sodium chloride solution What kind of reaction took place?

Displacement scratch that it a single replacement


What is equation for Hydrogen sulfide gas is bubbled through a solution or iron chloride?

H2S + FeCl2 --> FeS + 2 HCl The iron sulfide will precipitate out, making this reaction nonreversible.


When solution x is added to calcuim carbonate bubbles of gas can be seen. The lime-water becomes chalky when this gas is bubbled through it. Can you deduce what x is?

X is an acid. The acid reacts with Calcium Carbonate producing carbon dioxide. When this is bubbled through limewater, it produces a fine calcium carbonate precipitate giving a milky appearance to the limewater.
