Oxochlorate(I) acid is used as a bleaching agent because it is
a weak acid
a reducing agent.
an oxidizing agent
a strong acid.
Correct answer is C
HOCl is unstable and decomposes to release oxygen which oxidizes the dye to form a colourless compound.
The products of the electrolysis of dilute sodium chloride using carbon electrodes are
Anode Cathode
chlorine and sodium.
oxygen and hydrogen.
chlorine and hydrogen.
hydrogen and oxygen.
Correct answer is B
Oxygen is produced at the anode and hydrogen is produced at the cathode in dilute NaCl
If 60 g of M combines with 24 g of oxygen, what would the empirical formula of the oxide be?
( molar mass of M = 120, O = 16)
MO
MO2
MO3
MO4
Correct answer is C
Data obtained from the question
M = 60 g
O = 24 g
Empirical formula =?
How to determine the empirical formula
Divide by their molar mass
M = 60÷120 = 0.5
O = 24 ÷16 = 1.5
Divide by the smallest
M = 0.5÷0.5 = 1
O = 1.5 ÷0.5 = 3
Thus, the empirical formula of the oxide is MO₃
