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.

Which of the following changes to a pipe would increase the conductance by a factor of 12?
ivanzaharov [21]

C. Tripling the length and reducing the radius by a factor of 2 is the change to a pipe would increase the conductance by a factor of 12.

<u>Explanation:</u>

As we know that the resistance is directly proportional to the length of the pipe and it is inversely proportional to the cross sectional area of the pipe.

So it is represented as,

R∝ l /A [ area is radius square]

So k is the proportionality constant used.

R = kl/A

Conductance is the inverse of resistance, so it is given as,

C= 1/R.

R₁ = kl₁ / A₁

R₂ = kl₂/A₂

R₂/R₁ = 1/12 [∵ conductance is the inverse of resistance]

        = l₂A₁ / l₁A₂

If we chose l₁/l₂= 3 and A₂/A₁= 4 So R₂/R₁= 1/3×4 = 1/12

So tripling the length and reducing the radius by a factor of 2 would increase the conductance by a factor of 12.

On a molar basis, which is a more effective bleaching agent- kbro3 or naocl?
Aleksandr-060686 [28]
<span>On a molar a basis, the most effective bleaching agent kbro3 has more oxygen, but due to the bromine, it would make things look yellowish. The bromine would counteracts the bleaching effect. As we all know, bleach is naocl or hypochlorite</span>

How can we determine the formula for different molecular compounds
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

The first is the empirical formula which shows you the number of different atoms in the compound. After you convert the grams of each element into moles, you calculate the ratio of the moles, which gives you the ratio of the elements in the compound. More number-crunching gives you the molecular formula.
