Enthalpy of Vaporization of Chlorine (Cl) [& Color, Uses, Discovery ... 2022

All atoms need to receive a certain amount of energy (Enthalpy) to change to the gas state, even Chlorine. Ok, so what is the enthalpy of vaporization for an atom of Cl?

Note: Learn more about the enthapy of vaporization here.

In the case of Chlorine the enthalpy of vaporization is 20.41 Kilojoules per mole. Now let's check some cool facts about Chlorine that most don't know about...

Citation

When you need to include a fact or piece of information in an assignment or essay you should also include where and how you found that piece of information.

That gives credibility to your paper and it is sometimes required in higher education.

To make your life (and citation) easier just copy & paste the information below into your assignment or essay:

Luz, Gelson. "Enthalpy of Vaporization of Chlorine (Cl) [& Color, Uses, Discovery ..." Materials. Gelsonluz.com. dd mmmm. yyyy. <URL>

Now replace dd, mmmm and yyyy with the day, month, and year you browsed this page. Also replace URL for the actual url of this page (The < and > stay, ok?). This citation format is based on MLA.
