Write an equation for the reaction that takes place when $\text{SiCl}_4$ is added to cold water. Include state symbols.
Name the type of reaction that occurs when $\text{SiCl}_4$ is added to water. Do not consider whether the reaction is exothermic or endothermic.
Explain, in terms of bonding, why $\text{NaCl}$ and $\text{SiCl}_4$ behave differently when they are added to water.
Explain, in terms of electronegativity, why the bonding in $\text{NaCl}$ is different from the bonding in $\text{SiCl}_4$.
In the reaction $\text{Cl}_2 + \text{H}_2\text{O} \rightarrow \text{HCl} + \text{HClO}$, identify the oxidation number of chlorine in each chlorine-containing species.
Name the type of reaction that occurs.
Explain why chlorine is used in water purification.
A mixture of $\text{HCl}$ and $\text{HClO}$ is added to cold dilute $\text{NaOH}$. One of the products acts as a bleach. Suggest the equation for the reaction that takes place.
