Why is chloroform kept in dark bottle?

It is reacting with Light. Form chlorine with the reaction.


Is sodium used as a salt substitute?

PURE SODIUM will blow your face off. Na+H2O=explosion. Pure sodium is also very soft, and needs to be stabily kept in kerosene. A good substitute for NaCl(sodium chloride, also known as table salt) is NaK-Sodium potassium. The funniest thing about soduim and chlorine is one is a yellow gas that will choke you to death, while the other dropped in water will cause huge explosions. Also, DO NOT TRY TO MAKE YOUR OWN SALT. The reaction could burn you seriously, or an uncontrolled chlorine leak will kill you. The short answer is 'no' -- sodium is a component of salt. What we commonly think of as 'table salt' -- the stuff on french fries that makes them taste, well, salty -- is sodium chloride, or NaCl. When sodium molecules meet chlorine molecules, they form edible salt. The most common 'salt substitute' is potassium chloride, or KCl, which, you might notice, is just like table salt except that it's potassium and chlorine instead of sodium and chlorine.


Why is sodium kept under kerosene?

Sodium is metal. It is poisonous substance and also highly reactive. It catches fire when exposed in air.


When can you get in underground pool after you put chlorine?

Chlorine is usually kept in the pool at all times in the form of a tablet, if you mean the chlorine shock treatment which is a poweder that dissloves into the pool, I'd give it anywhere from 30 minutes to a day, depending on how much powder you've used to how many tablets are currently in the pool. Chlorine won't necessarily hurt you, since we swim in pools with it all the time, but it can burn your olfactory senses.


Why does ammonium chloride disappear when kept open?

Ammonium chloride appears to sublime but in this process solid NH4Cl actually (chemical) decomposition into ammonia and hydrogen chloride gas is involved. NH4Clsolid → NH3,gas + HCl,gasAmmonium chloride only likes to be a sublimable solid (one which changes from the solid state to gaseous state without passing through the intermediate liquid state)it sublimes at room temperature ie 25 degree centigrade thus it evaporates,and disappears when kept open.A real example of (pure physical) sublimation is Iodine, I2,sol → I2,gas

What volume of hydrogen chloride is produced by the reaction of 40 cm3 of chlorine with hydrogen?

Assuming that hydrogen, chlorine, and hydrogen chloride are all ideal gases and that the temperature and pressure are kept constant, the volume of gas depends only on the number of molecules of gas present. Also, at standard temperature and pressure, hydrogen and chlorine occur as diatomic molecules, and hydrogen chloride also occurs as diatomic molecules. The equation for the reaction is Cl2 + H2 -> 2 HCl. Therefore, the number of molecules of gas is the same before and after the reaction if both gases are present in the initial mixture that has a volume of 40 cm3. In that instance, the volume is the same before and after the reaction. However, the question seems to imply that hydrogen is supplied from an outside source. In that instance, there will be twice as many molecules after the reaction as before, so that the final volume will be 80 cm3.

How do you cure a fear of dogs?

Psychological therapy can sometimes help. Usually they use a system of desensitization where the sufferer is exposed first to things like photographs of dogs, then dogs kept at a distance, and gradually getting closer and closer until they can pet the dog. But there are other techniques as well. Consult your family physician for a psychology referral.
