Because their atoms have the same number of electrons in the highest occupied energy level
ANSWER
Option A
EXPLANATION
Arrhenius defines an acid as a substance that will produce hydrogen ions as the only positive ion when dissolved in water.
He also defines a base as a substance that contains a hydroxide ion (OH^-).
Hence, the Arrhenius Model of acids and bases applies that is applied to the aqueous solution.
The correct answer is option A
B. it means the compound is dissolved in water
Answer:
<em>The grams of hydrogen gas that are released is 0.343 gram</em>
Explanation:
<em>Given that:</em>
<em>2 Na + 2h₂0 ⇒ 2Na0H +N₂</em>
<em>Molecules of Na = 7.9/2.3 = 0.343 mol Na</em>
<em>Now,</em>
<em>2 molecules of Na produces one mole h₂</em>
<em>0.343 mol of Na produce 0.343/2 = 0.1717 mol h₂</em>
<em>h2 = molecules * mw (molecular weight) =0.1717 * 2 =0.343 grams</em>
<em>Therefore the grams of hydrogen gas released is = 0.343 grams</em>
