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

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

Answer:

2.803013439419911 × 10⁻¹² J

Explanation:

Mass defect = mass of reactant - mass of product

(2.0140 + 3.01605) - (4.002603 + 1.008665)

5.03005 - 5.011268 = 0.018782 amu

mass in Kg = mass (amu) × 1.66053892173 × 10⁻²⁷ kg

mass in kg = 0.018782 × 1.66053892173 × 10⁻²⁷ = 3.1188242027932 × 10⁻²⁹kg

E = Δm c² where c is the speed of light = 2.9979 × 10⁸m/s

E = 3.1188242027932 × 10⁻²⁹kg × (2.9979 × 10⁸m/s)² = 2.803013439419911 × 10⁻¹² J

What mass of solid that has a molar mass of 46.0 g/mol should be added to 150.0 g of benzene to raise the boiling point of benze

enyata [817]

Answer : 17.12 g

Explanation: $\Delta T =k_b\times m$

$\Delta T$ = elevation in boiling point

$k_b$ = boiling point elevation constant

m= molality

$molality=\frac{mass of solute}{molecular mass of solute\times weight of the solvent in kg}$

given $\Delta T=6.28^{\circ}C$

Molar mass of solute = 46.0 $gmol^{-1}$

Weight of the solvent = 150.0 g = 0.15 kg

Putting in the values

$molality=\frac{x}{46gmol^{-1}\times0.15kg}$

$6.28 =2.53^{\circ}Ckgmol^{-1}\frac{x}{46gmol^{-1}\times 0.15kg}$

x = 17.12 g
