Dissociation chlorination

In this way the dissociable chlorine atoms are represented united directly to cobalt, and hence there is no difference between these chlorine atoms and chlorine atoms in cobaltous chloride. The chlorine atom not dissociable is included in the centre shell round the cobalt atom. This shell around the metal is compared to the water molecules associated with some metallic ions which retard their mobility, the complex moving as a whole through a solution. These associated molecules, it is suggested, take the form of shells of water around the atom, the molecules being linked together by oxygen atoms. In the ease of trichloro-triammino-cobalt all the chlorine atoms arc within the shell and the substance is a non-electrolyte. Three different formula are possible, none of which will ionise in solution, viz. ... 

The energy changes occurring at each step are shown alongside the arrows AHg andZliT are heats of sublimation (sodium to free atoms) and dissociation (chlorine molecules to free atoms) and, with the ionisation potential and electron affinity and 4. ), refer to one mole of material. By Hess s law (p. 168) the change of H is independent of the path and the heat of formation is thus ...

Chlorine monoxide, CI2O. M.p. — 116°C, b.p. 4 C, yellow-red gas (CI2 plus HgO), dissolves in water to give some HOCl. Dissociates to CI2 plus O2. 

Figure 3, Wavepacket dynamics of the photodissociation of NOCl, shown as snapshots of the density (wavepacket amplitude squared) at various times, The coordinates, in au, are described in Figure b, and the wavepacket is initially the ground-state vibronic wave function vertically excited onto the 5i state. Increasing corresponds to chlorine dissociation. The density has been integrated over the angular coordinate. The 5i PES is ploted for the geometry, 9 = 127, the ground-state equilibrium value,...

The reaction path shows how Xe and Clj react with electrons initially to form Xe cations. These react with Clj or Cl- to give electronically excited-state molecules XeCl, which emit light to return to ground-state XeCI. The latter are not stable and immediately dissociate to give xenon and chlorine. In such gas lasers, translational motion of the excited-state XeCl gives rise to some Doppler shifting in the laser light, so the emission line is not as sharp as it is in solid-state lasers. 

Electron withdrawing effects of the cx-chlorine give chloroacetic acid a higher dissociation constant than that of acetic acid. 

A number of chemiluminescent reactions have been studied by producing key reactants through pulsed electric discharge, by microwave dissociation, or by observing the reactions of atoms and free radicals produced in the inner cone of a laminar flame as they diffuse into the flame s cool outer cone (182,183). These are either combination reactions or atom-transfer reactions involving transfer of chlorine (184) or oxygen atoms (181,185—187), the latter giving excited oxides. 

Chemical Properties. The chemistry of the sulfur chlorides has been reviewed (141,142). Sulfur monochloride is stable at ambient temperature but undergoes exchange with dissolved sulfur at 100°C, indicating reversible dissociation. When distilled at its atmospheric boiling point, it undergoes some decomposition to the dichloride, but decomposition is avoided with distillation at ca 6.7 kPa (50 mm Hg). At above 300°C, substantial dissociation to S2 and CI2 occurs. Sulfur monochloride is noncombustible at ambient temperature, but at elevated temperatures it decomposes to chlorine and sulfur (137). The sulfur then is capable of burning to sulfur dioxide and a small proportion of sulfur trioxide. 

Chemical Properties. The chemistry of sulfuryl chloride has been reviewed (170,172,195). It is stable at room temperature but readily dissociates to sulfur dioxide and chlorine when heated. The equiUbrium constant has the following values (194) ...
