What would happen during a tug of war between sodium and chlorine over each others electrons? why?

Chemistry

The number of valence electron in sodium is 1 and that in chlorine are 7. In order to complete the octet (8 electrons in outermost shell) sodium can give its valence electron to an atom with more electronegativity. Here, chlorine is more electronegative than sodium, due to 7 valence electrons it required one more electron to complete its octet.

Therefore, chlorine can take 1 valence electron of sodium to form ionic bond. In the ionic compound so formed, both sodium and chlorine have complete octets. In aqueous solution they exist as Na^{+} and Cl^{-} ions, the positive charge on sodium indicates that it donates its one electron and negative charge on chlorine indicates that it accepts an electron.

All this happen due to difference in electronegativity of sodium and chlorine (chlorine is more electronegative than sodium).

A hydrocarbon contains 85.7% carbon and the remainder
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

CH₂ ;  67.1 %

Explanation:

To determine the empirical formula we need to find what the mole ratio is in whole numbers of the atoms in the compound. To do that we will first need the atomic weights of C and H and then perform our calculation

Assume 100 grams of the compound.

# mol C = 85.7 g / 12.01 g/mol = 7.14 mol

# mol H = 14.3 g /  1.008 g/mol = 14.19 mol

The proportion is 14.9 mol H/ 7.14 mol C = 2 mol H/ 1 mol C

So the empirical formula is CH₂

For the second part we will need to first calculate the theoretical yield for the 12.03 g NaBH₄  reacted and then calculate the percent yield given the 0.295 g B₂H₆ produced.

We need to calculate the moles of  NaBH₄ ( M.W = 37.83 g/mol )

1.203 g  NaBH₄ / 37.83 g/mol =  0.0318 mol

Theoretical yield from balanced chemical equation:

0.0318 mol NaBH₄ x 1 mol B₂H₆ / mol NaBH₄ = 0.0159 mol B₂H₆

Theoretical mass yield B₂H₆ = 0.0159 mol x 27.66 g/ mol =  0.440 g

% yield = 0.295 g/ 0.440 g x 100 = 67.1 %

Which way of expressing concentration includes (a) volume of solution;
Sergio [31]

Molarity and normality are the ways of expressing concentration which includes the volume of the solution.

As we know,

Molarity is defined as the number of moles of solute dissolved in 1L of the solution. Thus,

M = no. of moles of solution/ Volume of solution on litres.

while, Normality is the number of gram equivalents of the solute dissolved per litre of the solution.

N = Gram equivalent of the solute/ volume of solution in litres.

while, the other concentration expressing terms such as mole fraction, molality includes the mass of the solution and solvent respectively.
