Popular questions
Does chlorine dioxide kill good bacteria?
Yes—chlorine dioxide is a broad‑spectrum oxidizing disinfectant that kills bacteria indiscriminately, including beneficial ones, on surfaces and in water. In regulated uses (e.g., drinking water or produce washes), residual levels are controlled to limit downstream effects.
How do you make chlorine dioxide?
Industrially it’s generated on‑site by reacting sodium chlorite or sodium chlorate under acidic or chlorinating conditions, because the gas is unstable and hazardous to store. It is not made or handled by consumers.
Chlorine dioxide what is it?
Chlorine dioxide (E926) is a yellow‑green gas (ClO2) and strong oxidizing agent used as a disinfectant and bleaching agent in water and food processing.
What is chlorine dioxide used for?
It’s used to disinfect drinking water, wash produce and poultry, and sanitize food‑processing equipment; outside foods, it’s also used for paper pulp bleaching and biofilm control.
Does chlorine dioxide kill mold?
Yes—chlorine dioxide is effective against molds and fungi (including spores) on surfaces at appropriate concentrations, so it’s used for facility and equipment sanitation.
Is nitrosyl chloride polar?
Yes—NOCl is a polar molecule due to its bent geometry at nitrogen and the differing electronegativities of O and Cl, which produce a net dipole.
(b) in which species (no2cl or no3-) are the n-o bond(s) longer? nitrosyl chloride nitrate ion?
Longer in nitrate (NO3−): its N–O bonds have lower bond order (~1.33) than the N=O double bond in nitrosyl chloride, so they are longer.
How is nitrosyl chloride used?
As the additive E919 it was historically used as a flour treatment/bleaching agent, but this use is now largely discontinued and not authorized in the EU; today it is mainly an industrial chlorinating/nitrosating reagent rather than a common food additive.
Nitrosyl chloride nocl decomposes to nitric oxide and chlorine when heated answer l?
Yes—on heating, 2 NOCl → 2 NO + Cl2, and the decomposition is promoted by heat and light.
Question 6 what is the "axe" description of the nitrosyl chloride molecule?
AX2E1 at the nitrogen center (two bonded atoms and one lone pair), giving trigonal planar electron geometry and a bent molecular shape.
