The elements in the periodice table are not listed in alphabetical order, because the arragement in rows (periods) and columns (groups or familes), in increasing order of atomic number (number of protons of the atoms) permits to explain similarities among the elements, trend in some properties, and even predict properties of unknown elements.
For example, the elements of the first group (family), called alkaline metals, all have 1 valence electron, have similar physical properties (ductibility, malleability, luster, thermal and electricity conductivity), react in similar way with water, show a trend in the atomic radii and in the ionization energy.
You can tell similar stories for other groups like, alkalyne earth metals, halogens and noble gases.
You can also tell trends in electroneativities, and atomic radii, for a row of elements, as per the order they are in the row.
So, the current array resulted very helpul for chemists to explain and predict the behavior and properties of the elements.
The ideal gas under STP is 22.4 L/mol. While the gas has a rule of P1V1/T1=P2V2/T2. So the volume under 101 kPa and 273 K is 0.2*22.4=4.48 L.
Yes, the law of conservation of mass holds.
Explanation:
In every chemical reaction, mass is always conserved. This implies that in chemical reaction, the process proceeds maintaining the same set of atom in the same proportion without new ones forming.
- From the description given, decomposition of the Silver carbonate will produce a silver residue with the given mass.
- The other mass that seems lost can be examined to be given off as carbon dioxide gas which is the other product of the reaction and oxygen.
- Therefore, since the products are silver, carbon dioxide and oxygen, the remaining mass is that of the carbon dioxide and oxygen. It is not lost.

Answer:
Sodium reacts with the oxygen in air to form sodium oxide, and traces of yellowish sodium peroxide. ... Probably, the reaction with atmospheric oxygen will be faster, because I have never seen sodium metal turning whitish on exposure, though it does lose its lustre and and reactivity (just the surface).
