Electrolysis

Electrolysis is defined as the process of breaking down ionic compounds into their constituent elements by passing a direct electric current through the compound in a fluid state. The cathode reduces cations, while the anode oxidizes anions. An electroly…

Textbook Question

Chapter 16.3, Problem 16.5.1PE

An element X reacts with oxygen to form X0₂ and with chlorine to form XCI₄. X0₂ is a white solid that melts at high temperatures (above 1000 °C). Under usual conditions, XCl₄ is a colorless liquid with a boiling point of 58 °C. (a) XCI₄ reacts with water to form X0₂ and another product. What is the likely identity of the other product? (b) Do you think that element X is a metal, nonmetal, or metalloid? (e) By using a sourcebook such as the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics, try to determine the identity of element X.
