Nevermind, I already tried it and it did not react very much... But if it would eventually react, I'm guessing it would be either 6HOCl + 2Fe > 2Fe(OCl)3 +3H2 due to the fact that iron is higher than hydrogen in the reactivity series, or 3HOCl + 2Fe > Fe2O3 + 3HCl due to the fact that HOCl is a pretty powerful oxidizer, although not nearly as powerful as H2O2 in rusting Fe.
2 HClO + Ca(OH)2 >> Ca(ClO)2 +2H20
2HClO(aq)+Ca(OH)2(aq)-->Ca(ClO)2(aq)+H2O(l)
Chlorine gas reacts with water to give hypochlorous acid and hydrochloric acid Cl2 + H2O -> HOCl + HCl Chlorine gas reacts with water to give hypochlorous acid and hydrochloric acid
2HClO(aq) + Ca(OH)_2(aq) --> Ca(ClO)_2(aq) + 2H_2O(l)
I only know 3 metals that react with acids to produce hydrogen. They are Zinc, iron and magnesium. There are 3 acids which react with them: and It will produce hydrogen gas which is the lightest known gas and is flammable :)
I assume that it will not react because benzoic acid cannot be oxidized easily by the hypochlorous acid. I would not try this at a large scale without appropriate safety measures though!
The chloride ion is neither acidic nor basic. Elemental chlorine itself is not acidic, but it will react with water to form hydrochloric acid and hypochlorous acid.
Yes. Chlorine gas reacts with water to give hypochlorous acid and hydrochloric acid Cl2 + H2O -> HOCl + HCl The hypochlorous acid is the "disinfectant" most effective at pH 5, at low pH it forms hypochlorite ions. Remember if the water is impure the chlorine can potentially react with the impurities.
Nitric acid is oxidizing acid. When it reacts with iron it forms a protective layer of iron oxide over it. So it does not react further.
No, hydrochloric acid does not need air to react with iron. When hydrochloric acid reacts with iron, you will notice the reaction because of the bubbling.
hypochlorous acid
Hypochlorous acid
Yes, iron reacts with acids.
They react in aqueous solution.
Yes, though it depends on the specific acid. As an example, hydrochloric acid and hypochlorous acid undergo a very dangerous reaction that produces chlorine gas and water. HCl + HClO --> Cl2 + H2O
Hypochlorous acid
Yes, it does.
