Hey there!

Solid Sodium and water will react spontaneously and release energy.  This is based on the reactivity series. Sodium is a highly reactive metal and hence, it is placed at the top of the reactivity series. This is because it loses its outermost electron very readily. When it comes in contact with water, it reacts with it violently to form sodium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. This reaction is exothermic and hence, accompanied with a release of energy.  Gold lies at the bottom of the reactivity series as it is very stable and does not give away its outermost electrons easily. Therefore, when it comes in contact with water, there is no reaction and no release of energy.

Ammonia is produced industrially via this exothermic reaction.
Cloud [144]

Answer:

high pressure of 200-300 atm.

low temp. of between 400-500 degrees celsius:this is for continuous development of ammonia since it decomposes at high temp fathermore the reaction is exothermic

a catalyst to speed up the rate of reaction:i guess it is finely divided iron impregnated in aluminium oxide

platinum can be used as a catalyst but it is easily poisoned

hope it helps

Give the net ionic equation for the reaction (if any) that occurs when aqueous solutions of Al(C2H3O2)3 and LiNO3 are mixed. Giv
RSB [31]

Answer: No reaction occurs

Explanation:.

Spectator ions are defined as the ions which does not get involved in a chemical equation or they are ions which are found on both the sides of the chemical reaction present in ionic form.

The given chemical equation is:

Al(C_2H_3O_2)_3(aq)+3LiNO_3(aq)\rightarrow Al(NO_3)_3(aq)+3LiC_2H_3O_2(s)

The complete ionic equation is;

Al^{3+}(aq)+3C_2H_3O_2^-(aq)+3Li^+(aq)+3NO_3^-(aq)\rightarrow Al^{3+}(aq)+3NO_3^-(aq)+3Li^+(aq)+3C_2H_3O_2^-(aq)

The ions which are present on both the sides of the equation are are not involved in net ionic equation.

Hence, there is no net reaction.

In which layer(s) would a solid cube with 6 cm sides and mass of 270 g float? Explain.
DIA [1.3K]
The buoyancy of an object is dictated by its density. So let us calculate for density, where:density = mass / volume
Calculate the volume first of a solid cube:volume = (6 cm)^3 = 216 cm^3 = 216 mL
Therefore density is:density = 270 g / 216 mLdensity = 1.25 g / mL
Therefore this object will float in the layer in which the density is more than 1.25 g / mL.
