Write a balanced molecular equation for the reaction of sodiummetal with water.

Chemistry
1 answer:
9966 [12]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Na + H₂O → NaOH + 1/2 H₂

Explanation:

When sodium reacts with water, it forms sodium hydroxide and molecular hydrogen. The unbalanced equation is:

Na + H₂O → NaOH + H₂

We have to balance this equation so it obeys the law of conservation of mass. We have 1 atom of Na on each side and 1 atom of O on each side, so these elements are balanced. However, we have 2 atoms of H on the left side and 3 atoms of H on the right side. The easiest way to balance the H without modifying the other elements is by making 1/2 the stoichiometric coefficient of H₂.

Na + H₂O → NaOH + 1/2 H₂

For each reaction, identify the element that gets reduced and the element that gets oxidized. 2 AgCl + Zn ⟶ 2 Ag + ZnCl 2 2AgCl+
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Oxidation:

Oxidation involve the removal of electrons and oxidation state of atom of an element is increased.

Reduction:

Reduction involve the gain of electron and oxidation number is decreased.

Oxidizing agents:

Oxidizing agents oxidize the other elements and itself gets reduced.

Reducing agents:

Reducing agents reduced the other element are it self gets oxidized.

Consider the following reaction:

2AgCl + Zn  → 2Ag + ZnCl₂

In this reaction oxidation state of Zn on left side is 0 while on right side +2 so it gets oxidized and oxidation state of Ag on left side is +1 and on right side 0 so it get reduced.

4NH₃  +  3O₂   →   2N₂ +  6H₂O

In this reaction oxidation state of nitrogen on left side is -3 while on right side 0 so it gets oxidized and oxidation state of oxygen on left side is 0 and on right side -2 so it get reduced.

Fe₂O₃ +  2Al  →   Al₂O₃ +  2Fe

In this reaction oxidation state of iron on left side is +3 while on right side 0 so it gets reduced and oxidation state of Al on left side is 0 and on right side +3 so it get oxidized.

C2h6o how many moles of ethanol are present in a 10.0 g sample of ethanol
Dmitriy789 [7]
46 gram of ethanol ≡ 1 mole of ethanol
1 gram of ethanol ≡ 1/46 mole of ethanol
10 gram of ethanol ≡ 1*10/46 mole of ethanol
                               =0.217 mole of ethanol
