When sodium metal is added to water, an orange flame is observed on the metal surface. Based on this observation, what can best

be concluded
Chemistry

Explanation:

A property which causes change in chemical composition of a substance is known as a chemical property. For example, reactivity, toxicity, combustion etc.

Whereas a property which causes no change in chemical composition of a substance is known as a physical property. For example, mass, volume, density etc.

Sodium is a very reactive metal and it reacts readily with oxygen, water etc. So, when sodium is added to water then occurrence of an orange flame represents its reactivity.

Thus, based on given observation it can be concluded that chemical reaction takes place when sodium is added to water.

What is the pH of a solution with an [H+] of (a) 5.4 x 10-10, (b) 4.3 x 10-5, (c) 5.4 x 10-7?
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

a. 9.2

b. 4.4

c. 6.3

Explanation:

In order to calculate the pH of each solution, we will use the definition of pH.

pH = -log [H⁺]

(a) [H⁺] = 5.4 × 10⁻¹⁰ M

pH = -log [H⁺] = -log 5.4 × 10⁻¹⁰ = 9.2

Since pH > 7, the solution is basic.

(b) [H⁺] = 4.3 × 10⁻⁵ M

pH = -log [H⁺] = -log 4.3 × 10⁻⁵ = 4.4

Since pH < 7, the solution is acid.

(c) [H⁺] = 5.4 × 10⁻⁷ M

pH = -log [H⁺] = -log 5.4 × 10⁻⁷ = 6.3

Since pH < 7, the solution is acid.

Under which conditions would the solubility of a gas be greatest? high pressure and high temperature high pressure and low tempe
kiruha [24]

Option B: high pressure and low temperature

A gas is more soluble under high pressure and low temperature conditions.

On increasing temperature of a gas, its kinetic energy increases. The increase in kinetic energy increases the motion of particles of gas this causes most of the gaseous particles to escape from the gas phase. Thus, less particles are available to dissolve in liquid and solubility decreases.

The effect of pressure on solubility of gas can be explained with the help of Henry's law. According to the law, at constant temperature, solubility of gas and partial pressure of gas are related to each other as follows:

p=k_{h}c

Here, p is the partial pressure of the gas, k_{h} is Henry's law constant, and

c is the concentrate of the gas.

According to above relation, concentration of gas decreases on decreasing partial pressure. Thus, on increasing pressure,  concentration of gas increases this increases the solubility of gas in liquid.

Therefore, solubility of gas is greatest at high pressure and low temperature.

Differentiate between Acidic radical and basic radical ​
Paladinen [302]

Explanation:

<em>Acidic</em><em> </em><em>radical</em><em> </em>

<em>Acid radical is the ion formed after the removal of Hydrogen ion (H+) from an acid. Example: When H2SO4 loses H+ ion, it forms HSO4− which is an acid radical.</em><em> </em>

<em>Basic</em><em> </em><em>radical</em><em> </em>

<em> The ion formed after the removal of hydroxide ion (OH−) from a base is known as basic radical.</em>

Explain why an atom may go through nuclear decay but another won't? use examples to support your answer.
Marta_Voda [28]
Nuclear decay or radioactive decay is a process by which the nucleus of an unstable atom loses energy that is in terms of its mass. The radioactivity may cause an atom to lose whichever of its subatomic particles.

The explanation as why some of the atoms go through nuclear decay while others do not its because of the stability of some atoms. Atoms usually tend to follow octet rule, those which do not follow through this may experience the nuclear decay.
