Sodium reacts with fluorine to make a covalent bond between them. A covalent bond is formed when there is a mutual sharing of electrons between the two adjacent atoms.

Here, Sodium is metal and fluorine is non-metal. So, the bond between them may be an ionic bond, but as the Sodium has one valence electron and fluorine is highly electronegative. Sodium wants to lose electrons and fluorine wants to gain electrons to form a chemical bond. Therefore, the sodium donates its valence electron to fluorine, forms a cation, and fluorine accepts the electron and forms an anion and they distribute the difference in the charge between them.

So, we can say that when sodium and fluorine react to form sodium fluoride with a covalent bond.

Rainbow [258]

Hello!

The pressure of the gas when it's temperature reaches 928 °C is 3823,36 kPa

To solve that we need to apply Gay-Lussac's Law. It states that the pressure of a gas when the volume is left constant (like in the case of a sealed container like an aerosol can) is proportional to temperature. This is the relationship derived from this law that we use to solve this problem:

$P2= \frac{P1}{T1}*T2= \frac{103 kPa}{25}*928=3823,36 kPa$

Answer:

Ksp = 0.1762

Explanation:

Applying

a) moles of HCl added, n= CV=0.5×0.012 = 6×10-3mol

b) since 0.006mol is present in 0.012dm3 of HCl

It implies moles of borax

C) Concentration = 0.706M

Ksp = [0.5]^2[0.706]= 0.176

A solution of methanol and water has a mole fraction of water of 0.312 and a total vapor pressure of 21 torr at 39.9 degrees C.

Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given the details, we can say that

Pure methanol is a volatile solvent as the vapour pressure has a high value. This means that methanol - methanol intermolecular forces are weak in comparisson to water - water forces. When having about 30% of water in a methanol mixture, the mixture Pv decreased, showing that it is not a volatile mixture, so then there are strong intermolecular interactions between methanol - water, part of it due to the hydrogen bonds.
