AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the chemical reactions between chloramine and dichloramine with sodium carbonate. Two potential reactions for dichloramine are proposed: one leading to the formation of sodium chloride, carbon dioxide, nitric oxide, and hydrogen, and another producing sodium chloride, carbon dioxide, sodium hypochlorite, and nitrogen. For chloramine, the reaction suggests the creation of sodium chloride, sodium hydroxide, carbon dioxide, hydrogen, and nitrogen. The contributor expresses uncertainty about the viability of these pathways and notes that any isolated nitrogen or hydrogen would likely form diatomic molecules. The role of sodium carbonate is highlighted as primarily modifying pH, with hydrolysis being a possible outcome. The discussion invites corrections and further insights on the proposed reactions.

Hello, just wondering what would be produced when chloramine and dichloramine is introduced to sodium carbonate. In a reaction including dichloramine I can't decide whether the reaction would proceed as the following:

NHCl2 + Na2CO3 ---> 2NaCl + CO2 + NO + H

Or

NHCl2 + NaCO3 ---> NaCl + CO2 + NaOCl + N

When using chloramine:

NH2Cl + Na2CO3 ---> NaCl + NaOH + CO2 + H + N


There were other pathways I could think of, but did not see them as viable.

When a lone nitrogen or hydrogen is produced I assume they form diatomic molecules, not reacting with anything else.

I may be completely wrong on all of this, feel free to correct.

Check out this link. While it doesn't say anything about reaction with a carbonate, my bet is that the carbonate will be mostly responsible for modifying pH, otherwise it will be just a hydrolysis.
 
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...
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!!
