Sodium’s combination with water creates a colourless result of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and hydrogen gas (H2). ... The reaction is exothermic. During the reaction, the sodium metal become very hot, to the point where it can catch fire and burns with a characteristic orange colour.

Need help with this question.... Next to each Formula, write the number of atoms of each element found in one unit of the compou

Andrew [12]

Answer:

The number of atoms present in one unit of the following compounds is:

a). Potassium Iodide , KI = 2

b).Sodium Sulfide, $Na_{2}S$ = 3

c). Silicon Dioxide , $SiO_{2}$ = 3

d). Carbonic Acid , $H_{2}CO_{3}$ = 6

Explanation:

Atomicity : It is defined as the number of atoms that are present in a given molecule/compound.

Atom : The smallest unit of matter is called atom. For e.g O is atom of oxygen but $O_{2}$ is not an atom , it is molecule of oxygen .

$O_{2}$ molecule has 2 atoms of Oxygen

Similarly Na , K , Fe are atoms but $O_{2}$ , $CO_{2}$ , $N_{2}$ , $H_{2}$ are molecules

a).Potassium Iodide

KI = 1 atom of K + 1 atom of I

Total atoms = 2

b) Sodium Sulfide

$Na_{2}S$ = 2 atoms of Na + 1 atom of S

Total atoms = 3

c) Silicon Dioxide

$SiO_{2}$ = 1 atom of Si + 2 atoms of O

Total atoms = 3

d) Carbonic Acid

$H_{2}CO_{3}$ = 2 atom of H + 1 atom of C + 3 atom of O

= 2+1+3

Total atoms = 6

Anestetic [448]

<u>Answer:</u> The equilibrium partial pressure of chlorine gas is 0.360 atm

<u>Explanation:</u>

For the given chemical equation:

$PCl_5(g)\rightleftharpoons PCl_3(g)+Cl2(g)$

The expression of $K_p$ for above reaction follows:

$K_p=\frac{p_{Cl_2}\times p_{PCl_3}}{p_{PCl_5}}$

We are given:

$K_p=0.497\\p_{PCl_3}=0.651atm\\p_{PCl_5}=0.471atm$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$0.497=\frac{p_{Cl_2}\times 0.651}{0.471}\\\\p_{Cl_2}=0.360atm$

Hence, the equilibrium partial pressure of chlorine gas is 0.360 atm
