Properties of polyhalogen compounds in Solution

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the challenges of understanding the behavior of polyhalogen compounds, specifically CsICl2, when dissolved in solution. The user is investigating the reactions of dichloroiodide in various conditions, including the addition of HCl, NaOH, and KI, and is seeking clarity on interpreting the results. A key point raised is the oxidation state of iodine in CsICl2, which is +1, and its potential behavior in 1M [H+], drawing a comparison to HIO. The conversation suggests that hydrolyzing CsICl2 could yield HIO, HCl, and CsOH, which may further react to form CsIO and CsCl. Overall, the focus is on the need for more information regarding the behavior of polyhalogen compounds in solution, particularly in relation to their reactions and products.

I'm having trouble finding information on polyhalogen compounds ie CsICl2 when they are dissolved in solution.

I've made dichloroiodide and I'm trying to figure out why/what happened when added to HCl/NaOH/and with KI added to both acidic and basic conditions, but I don't know how to interpret the results. I know that I is in a +1 oxidation state does that mean it behaves in 1M[H+] similar to how HIO would?

Everything I've found online deals with solid state, ideally Id like to know about CsICl2, but I'll take any info on explaining general trends for polyhalogen compounds in solution

Thanks

If you hydrolyse CsICl2, I believe you will get HIO and HCl, and ofcourse CsOH. Now get those acids and base react together again, you may get CsIO and CsCl.
 

Thread 'Solubility of MgSO47H2O in water'

It seems like a simple enough question: what is the solubility of epsom salt in water at 20°C? A graph or table showing how it varies with temperature would be a bonus. But upon searching the internet I have been unable to determine this with confidence. Wikipedia gives the value of 113g/100ml. But other sources disagree and I can't find a definitive source for the information. I even asked chatgpt but it couldn't be sure either. I thought, naively, that this would be easy to look up without...

Thread 'Why does having 8 valence electrons make an element inert?'

I was introduced to the Octet Rule recently and make me wonder, why does 8 valence electrons or a full p orbital always make an element inert? What is so special with a full p orbital? Like take Calcium for an example, its outer orbital is filled but its only the s orbital thats filled so its still reactive not so much as the Alkaline metals but still pretty reactive. Can someone explain it to me? Thanks!!
