Sodium has 1 valence electron and chlorine has 7 valence electrons and the goal is to get t 8 valence electrons then they attract together, forming table salt.
Answer:
Q9. The independent variable in this experiment is the fertilizer. It is independent because she manipulating the variable to compare the growth.
Q10. The dependent variable in this experiment is the amount of growth of the corn. It is this because the growth depends on what the scientist did on the corn.
Q11. The variable controlled in this experiment is the amount of sun and water. These two variables never change so this is why it is the control.
Explanation:
1. a. FeS + 2HCl --> FeCl2 + H2S
b. This is a double- replacement reaction. (The elements "switch partners".)
2. a.2Na + F2 --> 2NaF
b. This is a composition/synthesis reaction. (The two reactants are combining or synthesizing to make one product.)
3. a. 2HgO --> 2Hg + O2
b. This is a decomposition reaction. (The single reactant is breaking down or "decomposing" into multiple reactants.)
4. Hydrogen gas reacts with oxygen gas to create water in a composition/synthesis reaction.
I hope these answers will help you! If you need any explanation, ask and hopefully I can get back to you. ;)
Balanced equation:
Mg + 2 HNO3 —> Mg(NO3)2 + H2
This is a metal + acid reaction giving salt and hydrogen (not water).
