Answer:
Na2SO4 means: two moles sodium (45.98 g), one mole sulfur (32.06 g), and four moles oxygen (64.00 g) combine to form one mole of sodium sulfate (142.04 g).
Explanation:
Answer:
A
Explanation:
The molecule with the strongest intramolecular bond is HF. Hydrogen fluoride is the answer due to the strong and highly electronegative nature of Fluorine.
- Fluorine is the most electronegative element in nature.
- When it combines with other substances, due to its electronegative property, it draws most of the electrons closest to itself in the bond.
- This tendency and ability makes the shared electrons closer the fluorine in the bond.
- The strong polarization that ensues confers a very strong covalent bond pair on the bond formed.
All alkail metals react with halogens vigorously to produce salt. The alkali metal would loose an electron to form and ion with the halogen
Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) is also known as lye which is a base (very high ph; Alkaline)
Now, in chemistry, equilibrium is what affects the reaction rate of a reaction. If they are in equilibrium, the concentrations of them will not change (both reactants and products).
Now, lets say that to synthesize a certain chemical, we need it to be in an acidic environment with HCL or some other acid as the catalyst for the reaction.
Well, if we were to add Sodium Hydroxide to this which is very alkaline, the ph would change greatly which affects the reaction rate. If we do not have enough energy to overcome the activation barrier, the reaction will not occur (atleast for a very long time).
However, a common mistake is thinking that a catalyst will affect the equilibrium. This is not true. The reaction will still take place but it will have a very slow reaction rate.
TLDR; Adding a catalyst (like NaOH or Sodium Hydroxide) will not change the equilibrium but instead change the reaction rate. The reaction can still occur, although it can take a very, very long time (like diamonds turning into graphite)
