I recently saw a few videos on Youtube of people making a reaction by putting chlorine and alcohol together in a bottle. For the life of me I can't figure out why that reaction would work, and I wondered if anybody could give me an equation. Thanks.
Is the Haber process ever used to generate electricity? I recognize that it's not an efficient means, because of the amount of energy needed to create H2 gas, but because the actual Haber process is exothermic and is less efficient once the temperature creeps above 400 degrees, why shouldn't it...
Also, do enthalpies of formation have any meaningful effect on which salts result? Could you theoretically have a precipitation reaction if you don't remove the water?
If you have two alkaline Earth metal-halide salts in a solution (for example potassium iodide and sodium chloride), when you boil off the water will you find that new salts (In this case potassium chloride and sodium iodide) have formed? Will the most electronegative and least electronegative...
