Question
Explain the reactions of nonmetals with water with the help of examples.
Advertisements
Solution
Generally, nonmetals do not react with water, except halogens.
E.g. Chlorine on dissolving in water gives the following reaction:
\[\ce{\underset{\text{Chlorine}}{Cl_{2(g)}} + \underset{\text{Water}}{H2O_{(l)}} -> \underset{\text{acid}}{\underset{\text{Hypochlorous}}{HOCl_{(aq)}}} + \underset{\text{acid}}{\underset{\text{Hydrochloric}}{HCl_{(aq)}}}}\]
