How many isotopic kinds of HCl are there?

There are two isotopic kinds of HCl: hydrogen chloride (HCl) and deuterium chloride (DCl). Deuterium chloride is composed of deuterium, an isotope of hydrogen with one proton and one neutron in its nucleus, instead of the more common isotope of hydrogen with just one proton.


A water molecule contains two hydrogen elements and one oxygen atom what is wrong with this question?

It should read "atoms" instead of "elements" So it should beA water molecule contains two hydrogen ATOMS and one oxygen atom.


Why hydrochloric acid and hydrogen chloride gas have different names?

Because they are two physically different, albeit closely-related chemical compositions:Hydrochloric acid is what is generally used as a strong acid in industry and retail for use in swimming pools. It is an aqueous solution of HCl, which is a strong acid and therefore dissolves fully in the solvent (water) existing as it's constituent ions H+ and Cl-, separated and interacting with the very polar water molecules. Hydrochloric acid cannot be simply dried/evaporated to create Hydrogen Chloride.Hydrogen Chloride is the anhydrous form of the molecule HCl as a ionic molecule. It is sometimes referred to as dry HCl or HCl(g), since there is no solvent present and at STP it exists as a gas. This Hydrogen Chloride can be simply bubbled through water to produce Hydrochloric acid. The reverse transformation is not possible, instead a chemical reaction must be used to create Hydrogen Chloride from various reagents (such as Sulfuric acid and Sodium Chloride)


Do hydrogen bonds form from an equal charge distribution within a molecule?

No, hydrogen bonds do not form from an equal charge distribution within a molecule. Instead, hydrogen bonds occur between a hydrogen atom covalently bonded to an electronegative atom (such as oxygen, nitrogen, or fluorine) and another electronegative atom. This creates a partial positive charge on the hydrogen atom, which can interact with the partial negative charge on the electronegative atom of another molecule to form a hydrogen bond.


What would happen if sodium chloride is taken instead of ammonium chloride during sublimation of ammonium chloride?

The experiment will not work because sodium chloride does not sublime. Ammonium chloride appears to sublime upon heating. However, this process is actually decomposition into ammonia and hydrogen chloride gas. NH4Cl + heat → NH3 + HCl (Wikipedia)

What is the atomic number of hydrogen chloride?

Since hydrogen chloride is not an element but is, instead, formed by two elements, it does not have an atomic number. Only elements have atomic numbers.

What is 2 carbon plus 5 hydrogen?

A molecule of ethane with one hydrogen missing. If you can find a spare OH to stick on there instead of just a hydrogen, then you have a complete molecule of ethanol, which is much more interesting to have at the end of a hard day in the lab.

What is electrolysis of aqueous sodium chloride?

Sodium metal can be obtained by electrolysis from molten mixture of sodium chloride and calcium chloride in Down's cell. The metal can not be obtained by electrolysis from aqueous solution, because hydrogen will evolve instead.


What is water starch?

No, water does not contain starch. Instead, water contains two hydrogen and one oxygen atom. It is considered a fairly simple molecule.


Why sodium chloride is a compound not a molecule?

Sodium chloride is a compound because it consists of two elements chemically bonded together. It is no a molecule because instead of forming particles consisting of atoms bound by covalent bonds, it forms a crystal structure of ions attracted by their opposite charges.


Why electrolysis does not happen in solid sodium chloride?

when an aqueous solution is used, hydrogen gas is evolved at cathode, instead of depositing sodium metal.


What is a reaction involving oxygen which is not oxidation?

Water or H2O is not an oxidizing reaction. Instead two oxygen modecules bond to a single hydrogen atom to form the molecule.
