From this list, identify all the chlorides that have giant ionic structures in the solid state.
From this list, identify all the chlorides that react strongly with water to form strongly acidic solutions.
From this list, identify the chloride that dissolves in water to give a neutral solution.
From this list, identify the chloride formed from the element with the highest melting point.
$\text{NaCl}$ is one product of the reaction between chlorine gas and cold aqueous sodium hydroxide. Identify the other products.
$\text{PCl}_5$ reacts with alcohols to form chloroalkanes. Identify this type of reaction.
Draw the structure of the organic product formed when excess $\text{PCl}_5$ reacts with butane-1,3-diol.
$\text{SCl}_2$ is a cherry-red liquid that reacts vigorously with water to produce an acidic solution. Use this information to deduce the bonding and structure indicated for $\text{SCl}_2$. Explain your answer.
Calculate the enthalpy change of formation, $\Delta H_f$, of $\text{SCl}_2\text{(l)}$. It may be helpful to use Hess's Law to build an energy cycle. $\text{S}_8\text{(s)} + 4\text{Cl}_2\text{(g)} \rightarrow 4\text{S}_2\text{Cl}_2\text{(l)} \quad \Delta H_r = -58.2\text{ kJ mol}^{-1}$ $\text{S}_2\text{Cl}_2\text{(l)} + \text{Cl}_2\text{(g)} \rightleftharpoons 2\text{SCl}_2\text{(l)} \quad \Delta H_r = -40.6\text{ kJ mol}^{-1}$ Enthalpy change of formation of $\text{SCl}_2\text{(l)}$, $\Delta H_f = \ldots\ldots\ldots\ldots\ldots\ldots\ldots\text{ kJ mol}^{-1}$
