1,1,1-trichloroethane is being replaced because it is classified as a volatile organic compound (VOC) and poses risks to human health and the environment. It is being substituted with safer solvents that are less harmful and have lower environmental impact. The replacement is part of efforts to reduce emissions of harmful chemicals and promote sustainability.

What is the molecular shape for CHI3?

Tetrahedral However, it is not a uniform tetrahedron, but biased in favour of 'H' .


What is chloralform?

Sounds like you're asking about chloroform, which is CHCl3; one carbon atom attached to one hydrogen and three chlorines. It was once a popular anaesthetic before its toxicity was realised, and abandoned in favour of ether.


What conditions favour decomposition?

Conditions that favor decomposition include warm temperatures, high moisture levels, oxygen availability, and the presence of decomposers such as bacteria, fungi, and insects. Decomposition is most rapid in environments where these factors are optimal, leading to the breakdown of organic matter into simpler substances.


Ask us anythingUse the reaction I2(s) I2(g) H 62.4 kJmol S 0.145 kJ(molK) for question 10. What can be said about the reaction at 500 K?

At 500 K, the reaction will favour the formation of gaseous I2 since the positive change in enthalpy indicates the reaction is endothermic. The positive change in entropy suggests an increase in disorder, further favoring the formation of gaseous I2 at higher temperatures.


Why many compounds that contain one or ore hydrogen atoms are not classified as Arrhenius acid?

To be an Arrhenius acid the hydrogen atoms have to be capable of being lost as protons in aqueous solutions. One simple explanation is in terms of the polarity of the X-H bond if planar, the X-H will be soluble in water, the slightly charged H atom will make it easier to be stolen by a water molecule. A better explanation is to look at the Arrhenius equilibrium and look at the factors that would favour dissocation. X-H(aq) <-> H+ (aq) + X-(aq) What drives the equibrium to the right hand side?
