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 an exothermic reaction at equilibrium, how will increasing the temperature affect Keq?
Sonja [21]

Question:

<em>For an exothermic reaction at equilibrium, how will increasing the temperature affect Keq?</em>

Answer:

<em>The reaction will proceed towards the liquid phase. Heat is on the reactant side of the equation. Lowering temperature will shift equilibrium left, creating more liquid water. A reaction that is exothermic releases heat, while an endothermic reaction absorbs heat.</em>

<em>If you increase the temperature, the position of equilibrium will move in such a way as to reduce the temperature again. It will do that by favouring the reaction which absorbs heat. In the equilibrium, that will be the back reaction because the forward reaction is exothermic.</em>

Hope this helps, have a good day. c;

A chemistry student combines 23.0 grams of sodium and 71.0 grams of chloride to form sodium chloride. According to the law of co
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

94.0 g.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the lay of conservation of mass states that energy cannot be neither created nor destroyed, during a chemical reaction it is seen that the reactions undergo a change by which bonds can be broken or formed depending on the case. Thus, for the formation of sodium chloride we evidence the formation of the Na-Cl bond which means sodium is combined with chlorine according to the following chemical reaction:

2Na(s)+Cl_2(g)\rightarrow 2NaCl(s)

It means that the reuslting mass of product is:

m_{NaCl}=23.0+71.0g=94.0g

Best regards!

The plunger on a bicycle pump with a 400 mL volume cylinder is
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

The answer to your question is V2 = 66.7 ml

Explanation:

Data

Volume 1 = V1 = 400 ml

Pressure 1 = P1 = 1 atm

Volume 2 = V2 = ?

Pressure 2 = P2 = 6 atm

Process

1.- To solve this problem use Boyle's law

                     P1V1 = P2V2

-solve for V2

                     V2 = P1V1 / P2

-Substitution

                      V2 = (1)(400) / 6

-Simplification

                      V2 = 400 / 6

-Result

                      V2 = 66.7 ml
