To make a basic solution, it has to contain available hydroxide ions. Chlorine doesn't, so it can't be basic.

Does chlorine evaporate?

Yes, chlorine can evaporate at room temperature. As a gas, it is released from surfaces where it has been applied, such as in swimming pools or cleaning products. However, it is important to handle chlorine safely as inhaling high concentrations can be harmful.


Why is chlorine added during water treatment?

Chlorine is added during water treatment as a disinfectant to kill harmful bacteria and pathogens that may be present in the water supply. It helps to make the water safe for drinking by reducing the risk of waterborne diseases.


How chlorine forms anions?

Chlorine can form anions by gaining one electron to achieve a full outer shell of electrons. This extra electron gives the chlorine atom a negative charge, resulting in the formation of the chloride ion (Cl-).


Hydrogen and chlorine react?

Hydrogen and chlorine react to form hydrogen chloride gas, which is an acidic gas. This reaction is highly exothermic and releases a large amount of heat energy. It is a rapid reaction that produces a pop sound when carried out in a test tube.


What is polarity of kcl?

polarity usually means one side is positive, and one side is negative. This means one side is looking for a free electron and one side has free electrons when talking about electricity potential. A glass of potassium chloride solution is just that, a glass of the stuff. by itself its sort of stable and doesnt have an electrical charge. Plus, KCL is a 'salt' and is even sold in the grocery store as 'Lite' salt or low sodium salt. I think it tasts yucky so I dont buy the stuff to put on my food. So you must be thinking of something else or a certain condition in which the solution becomes charged

What is a solute and a solvent?

A solute is the solid that is dissolved in a liquid. The solvent is the liquid in which something is dissolved in. For example, with salt water, the Na and Cl are the two solutes, and the H2O is the solvent. Also They Both Make A Solution. For example, to make a solution out of saltwater, you would take salt, which would be your solute, and water, which would be your solvent. To be more precise, a solvent is what does the dissolving and the solute is what is being dissolved. the answer above is not incorrect per se, just not all inclusive. an example not described by the previous answer is that of carbon dioxide dissolving in water. therefore, the solute does not have to be a solid. further the solvent doesnt have to be liquid. the solvent can be a liquid or a gas and the solute can be a solid, liquid, or gas.


Why doesnt the solid appear in the Ksp expression?

In the Ksp expression, only the concentration of the dissolved ions is included because the solid is considered to be in equilibrium with the ions in solution. Therefore, its concentration remains constant and is not included in the expression. Including the solid in the Ksp expression would not affect the equilibrium constant value.
