The acid hocl (hypochlorous acid) is produced by bubbling chlorine gas through a suspension of solid mercury(ii) oxide particles in liquid water according to the equation 2hgo(s)+h2o(l)+2cl2(g)⇌2hocl(aq)+hg o⋅hgcl2(s) what is the equilibrium-constant expression for this reaction?

The expression for equilibrium constant is

Explanation:

Equilibrium constant is defined as the ratio of concentration of products to the concentration of reactants each raised to the power their stoichiometric ratios. It is expressed as

For the general chemical equation:

The expression for is given as:

For the given chemical reaction:

The expression for is given as:

The concentration of solid is taken to be 0.

So, the expression for is given as:

alkaline metals are lithium, sodium, rubidium, potassium, cesium and francium.

alkali metals have electronegativity from 0.7 to 1, lowest in periodic table of elements, which means that alkali metals (i group in periodic table) has positive oxidation number in compounds.

electronegativity is a chemical property that describes the tendency of an atom to attract a shared pair of electrons towards itself.

alkaline metals (far left in main group) have lowest ionizations energy and easy remove valence electrons,

for example, potassium is the alkali metal and has a single valence electron in the outer electron shell.

electron configuration of potassium is: ₁₉k 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶4s¹.

they can not exist alone in nature, because they are very reactive.
