Yes, bromine can be an effective disinfectant in water treatment, Swimming Pools, and hot tubs due to its ability to kill bacteria and algae. It is also used as a bleaching agent, especially in the production of paper and textiles. However, its effectiveness can depend on the specific application and concentration used.

Why nitrogen is used as disinfectant?

Nitrogen is not commonly used as a disinfectant. Disinfectants are typically chemical solutions or agents that are specifically designed to kill or inactivate microorganisms. Nitrogen is an inert gas and does not possess disinfectant properties.


Would bromine and carbon make an ionic compound?

No, bromine and carbon would not form an ionic compound. Carbon typically forms covalent bonds and bromine can also form both covalent and ionic bonds, depending on the element it is reacting with. In this case, a covalent bond would be more likely between bromine and carbon.


What Element Would Be Least Reactive Out Of Chlorine Iodine Bromine And Fluorine?

Bromine would be the least reactive out of chlorine, iodine, bromine, and fluorine. It is a nonmetal halogen that has lower reactivity compared to fluorine, chlorine, and iodine.


Is bleaching a sheet and a pillowcase phisycal or chemical change?

If the sheet is turning into a pillowcase, it would be a physical change. The sheet is not changing anything but its shape to become a pillowcase, and it most likely can be reversed to turn back into a sheet.


What would be observed if chlorine water was added to a dilute solution of sodium bromide?

A reaction would occur, resulting in the production of bromine. This is because chlorine is more reactive than bromine and will displace it from the sodium bromide solution, forming sodium chloride and bromine. The bromine produced can be identified by its red-brown color and distinct odor.

Can vinegar be used as a disinfectant?

No....if vinegar was an acceptable "disinfectant" according the the EPA standards that a disinfectant is held to, then many more companies would sell it because it's cheap! It's true that vinegar does kill germs, but not well enough to call it an effective disinfectant.

If a disinfectant needs one gallon of water for two ounces of disinfectant How much disinfectant do you use for sixteen ounces of water?

If one gallon of water requires two ounces of disinfectant, then for sixteen ounces of water (which is one-eighth of a gallon), you would need one-fourth of the two ounces. Therefore, you would use half an ounce of disinfectant for sixteen ounces of water.

How many atoms of bromine will you multiply to get moles of bromine?

To convert atoms of bromine to moles of bromine, you would need to divide the number of atoms by Avogadro's number (6.022 x 10^23). So, to get moles of bromine, you would divide the number of atoms by Avogadro's number, not multiply.


Would bromine and carbon make an ionic compound?

No, bromine and carbon would not form an ionic compound. Carbon typically forms covalent bonds and bromine can also form both covalent and ionic bonds, depending on the element it is reacting with. In this case, a covalent bond would be more likely between bromine and carbon.


Is bromine at -5.00 degrees Celsius a solid liquid or gas?

Bromine's melting point is -7.2 °C, so at -5 °C, bromine would be a liquid.


Would you expect iodine to displace bromine form a solution of potassium bromide?

No. However, bromine would displace iodine in potassium iodide.
