Answer:
Atoms like sodium, with only one or two electrons in a valence shell that needs eight electrons, are most likely to give up their valence electrons to achieve a stable state.
Explanation:
Answer:
Explanation:
NaCl sodium Chloride as ordinary salt
Naf sodium fluoride is used in toothpaste which we use every day
To determine whether our equations are balanced, we must write the elements on the products side and also the reactants side. If the amount of the elements (coefficients and subscripts) are equal on both sides, we have a balanced equation.
Lets try (A)
2NaCl + H₂SO₄ → HCl + NaSO₄
Na=2 Na=1
Cl=2 Cl=1
H=2 H=1
Na=2 Na=1
S=1 S=1
O=4 O=4
Most of the elements here are not equal for both sides, therefore, A is not the answer.
Lets try (B)
2Na + S → 2NaS
Na=2 Na=2
S=1 S=2
This is a wrong answer because S is not equal on both sides. B is a wrong answer.
Lets try (C)
KOH + H2SO4 → KHSO4 + H2O
K=1 K=1
O= 1 O=1
H=1 H=1
H=2 H=2
S=1 S=1
O=4 O=4
THIS IS A BALANCED EQUATION!!!! ALL ELEMENTS ARE EQUAL ON BOTH SIDES!!!
Since we already know that C is our answer, we have no need to check D. Also, D is incorrect because N has 1 on reactants side, and 2 on the other. Therefore, we automatically know that D is wrong.
FINAL ANSWER: C IS OUR ANSWER, IT IS A BALANCED EQUATION. :)
