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.

What is the electromagnetic spectrum? a p e x
givi [52]

Answer:

- the electromagnetic spectrum is the range of electromagnetic radiation, organized by how much energy the radiation carries. there is an opposite relationship between wavelength, frequency, and energy. as the wavelength of a wave increases, the frequency and energy decrease, and vice versa.

- the order from longest wavelength (lowest energy) to shortest wavelength (highest energy) is as follows: radio waves, microwaves, infrared waves, visible light waves, ultraviolet waves, x-rays and gamma rays.

vivado [14]

Answer:

Option A.

2Na + 2H2O —> 2NaOH + H2

Explanation:

To know which option is correct, we shall do a head count of the number of atoms present on both side to see which of them is balanced. This is illustrated below below:

For Option A:

2Na + 2H2O —> 2NaOH + H2

Reactant >>>>>>> Product

2 Na >>>>>>>>>>> 2 Na

4 H >>>>>>>>>>>> 4 H

2 O >>>>>>>>>>>> 2 O

Thus, the above equation is balanced.

For Option B:

2Na + 2H2O —> NaOH + H2

Reactant >>>>>>> Product

2 Na >>>>>>>>>>> 1 Na

4 H >>>>>>>>>>>> 3 H

2 O >>>>>>>>>>>> 1 O

Thus, the above equation is not balanced.

For Option C:

2Na + H2O —> 2NaOH + H2

Reactant >>>>>>> Product

2 Na >>>>>>>>>>> 2 Na

2 H >>>>>>>>>>>> 4 H

1 O >>>>>>>>>>>> 2 O

Thus, the above equation is not balanced.

For Option D:

Na + 2H2O —> NaOH + 2H2

Reactant >>>>>>> Product

1 Na >>>>>>>>>>> 1 Na

4 H >>>>>>>>>>>> 5 H

2 O >>>>>>>>>>>> 1 O

Thus, the above equation is not balanced.

From the illustrations made above, only option A is balanced.
