Answer : Yes, the given chemical reaction is balanced equation.

Explanation :

Balanced chemical reaction : It is defined as the number of atoms of individual elements present on reactant side must be equal to the product side.

The given chemical reaction is,

$2Na+2H_2O\rightarrow 2NaOH+H_2$

In this reaction, there are 2 atoms of sodium, 4 atoms of hydrogen and 2 atoms of oxygen are present on both side of the reaction. So,

This chemical reaction is a balanced reaction because in this reaction, the number of atoms of sodium, hydrogen and oxygen are balanced on the side of the reaction.

Hence, yes the given chemical reaction is balanced equation.

Stainless steel is an alloy of iron containing 5 percent nickel and 0.175 percent chromium. How many atoms of nickel are present

erica [24]

First you need to work out what mass of 84g of stainless steel is nickel, and because there's 5% you can simply divide by 20, giving 4.2g

For this you can use the equation $Moles= \frac{Mass}{Mr}$

The mass, as was worked out previously, is 4.2g
The Mr, which is found on the periodic table, is 28

Moles = $\frac{4.2}{28}$ = 0.15mol

1mol = 6.023 x $10^{23}$ atoms

So, 0.15mol = 0.15 x 6.023 x $10^{23}$ = 9.0345 x $10^{22}$ atoms
