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).

Air has a mass of 1.2g and a volume of 4,555ml. What is the density
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

<h2>Density = 0.00026 g/mL</h2>

Explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

<h3>Density(\rho) =  \frac{mass}{volume}</h3>

From the question

mass of air = 1.2 g

volume = 4,555 mL

Substitute the values into the above formula and solve for the density

That's

<h3>Density =  \frac{1.2}{4555}</h3>

= 0.0002634

We have the final answer as

<h3>Density = 0.00026 g/mL</h3>

Hope this helps you

Calculate the mass of ethyl alcohol required to prepare 540 grams of C4H6, if the reaction follows the scheme:
kkurt [141]

Answer:

Explanation:

2C₂H₅OH    =   C₄H₆  +  2H₂O  +  H₂

2 mole               1 mole

molecular weight of ethyl alcohol

mol weight of C₂H₅OH = 46 gm            

mol weight of C₄H₆  54 gm

540 gm of C₄H₆ = 10 mole

10 mole of C₄H₆ will require 20 mol of ethyl alcohol .

20 mole of ethyl alcohol = 20  x 46

= 920 gm

ethyl alcohol required = 920 gm .

These are 3 questions in one but i really need help i put the most points i could give and i’ll give Brainliest !!
kap26 [50]

Answer:

1) 950 mL

2) 625 mmHg

3) 426 mL

Explanation:

1) This is the relationship between pressure and volume. This relationship looks like this:

P1*V1 = P2*V2

This means the first pressure times the initial volume is equal to the second pressure times the second volume. We are solving for the second volume. First, convert the mmHg to atm and the mL to L.

1 L * 1 atm = 1.053 atm * X

X = 0.95 L or 950 mL

2) This is the same concept as the last one. :) We don't have to convert the mmHg to atm since the answer wants it in mmHg.

750 mmHg * 0.25 L = 0.3 L * X

X = 625 mmHg

3) The relationship between volume and temperature is similar to the one between pressure and temperature (like the problem in your last question). Remember to convert degrees C to Kelvin and mL to L.

V1 / T1 = V2 / T2

0.4 L / 303 K = X / 323 K

X = 0.426 L pr 426 mL

These problems become much easier once you learn the relationships between the different variables (temp, pressure, volume, etc.) When you have a problem like this, I like to first determine what relationship I am dealing with and then write out what I have and what I am solving for. This helps with organizing the problem. Then just solve it like a normal algebra problem. Always remember to convert temp to Kelvin, mL to L, and pressure to atm (unless it wants it in a different unit, then just make sure all the units match).

Good luck with you studies! :)
