Explain why sodium chloride solution cannot be used as the electrolyte to produce

Chemistry
1 answer:
ira [324]2 years ago
6 0

Explanation:

Because the solution only contains Na+ and Cl− ions, and water, and not the metal Na(s) . You cannot evaporate the water from the solution and hope to obtain anything but NaCl(s) .

.

Na(s) has an electron configuration of 1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^1 , but Na+(aq) has an electron configuration of 1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 . That means they are not the same element, and thus, there is no straightforward way of extracting Na(s) from a NaCl (aq) solution

Which statement is true? 1. The electronegativity of an atom depends only on the value of the ionization energy of the atom. 2.
lisov135 [29]

Answer:

5. Atoms with high ionization energies and high electron affinities have low electronegativities.

Explanation:

Ionization energy is the minimum amount of energy which is required to knock out the loosely bound valence electron from the isolated gaseous atom.

Electron affinity is the amount of energy released when an isolated gaseous atom accepts electron to form the corresponding anion.

Electronegativity is the tendency of an atom in a bond pair to attract the shared pair of electron towards itself.

Low ionization energies as well as low electron affinities mean the atom has low effective nuclear charge, which results in the less attraction of the valence electrons by the atom and thus, low electronegativity.

Sodium and magnesium ions have 10 electrons surrounding their nuclei which ion would you expect to have the larger radius why
Maksim231197 [3]
Sodium because according to the atomic size trend of the periodic table. Elements further to the left are bigger while elements tot he right are smaller. This is also do to their charges, Na has a +1 charge meaning it doesn’t pull the electrons as close as the Mg does with its +2 charge.

What force in Newtons is needed to accelerate a 40 kg mass across a surface at 7.5 m/sec²?
jeka94
According to Newton's laws, the relationship between acceleration and mass and force is F=ma.
40kg×7.5m/s²=300N
so the answer is 300N.
