You can put a known amount sodium into some sort of time release mechanism such as a pill made from soluble material.  Then you can place the sodium into a calorimeter with a known mass of water and record the temperature change the water undergoes during the reaction.  Then you can use the equation q(water)=m(water)c(water)ΔT to find the amount of heat absorbed by the water.  since the amount of heat absorbed by the water is the amount of heat released from the sodium, q(sodium)=-q(water).  Than you can use the equation q(sodium)=m(sodium)c(sodium)ΔT and solve for c(sodium)

I hope this helps and feel free to ask about anything that was unclear in the comments.

How many atoms of Ca are present in 80.156 grams of Ca? (4 points) 1.2044 × 1024 2.4088 × 1024 4.8270 × 1025 1.9346 × 1027
Alika [10]

Answer: 1.2044 × 10^24

Explanation:

1 mole of calcium is 40 gram

Based on Avogadro's law:

1 mole of any substance has 6.02 x 10^23 atoms, also 1 mole of calcium is 40gram

So, 1 mole of calcium = 6.02 x 10^23 atoms

Also, 1 mole of calcium is 40gram

40 grams of calcium = 6.02 x 10^23 atoms

80.156 grams of calcium = Z atoms

To get the value of Z, cross multiply:

Z atoms x 40 grams = 6.02 x 10^23 atoms x 80.156 grams

40Z = 482.54 x 10^23

Z = (482.54 x 10^23/40)

Z = 12.06 x 10^23

Put result in standard form

Z = 1.206 x 10^24 atoms

Thus, 1.206 x 10^24 atoms of Ca are present in 80.156 grams of Ca

bekas [8.4K]

it makes aloh

AlCl3 + 3NaOH = AlOH3 + 3NaCl

Al3+ + 3Cl- + 3Na+ + 3OH- = AlOH3 + 3Na+ + 3Cl-

all cancels out except

Al3+ + 3OH- = AlOH3

What are the units of k in the following expression: rate = k [A][B]?s-1M-1s-1M-2s-1M
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Rate of the reaction is represented as

Rate=k[A][B]

Rate represents change in product concentration with time that has a unit Ms- Whereas concentration of each reactant can be represented as M . so the expression will become:

Ms-1=k[M][M]

k=M-1 s-1.
