Answer:
              NaF

Explanation:
                   Electronic configuration of Sodium is as follow,

                                      Na  =  11  = 1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s¹

As shown in electronic configuration, Sodium has 1 valence electrons in its valence shell. Therefore, to complete its noble gas configuration it donates one electron form Na⁺.

                                     Na⁺  =  1s², 2s², 2p⁶

                   Electronic configuration of Fluorine is as follow,

                                      F  =  9  = 1s², 2s², 2p⁵

As shown in electronic configuration, fluorine has 7 valence electrons in its valence shell. Therefore, to complete its noble gas configuration it accepts one electron from Na to form F⁻.

                                      F⁻ = 1s², 2s², 2p⁶

Henec, in order to form a neutral molecules, one Na⁺ combines with one F⁻ to form NaF.

The stearic acid/hexane solution contains 0.1 g of stearic acid per 1 ml of solution. what is the molarity of this solution? g
melisa1 [442]
Stearic acid formula is CH₃(CH₂)₁₆COOH
The molecular mass of stearic acid is 284.48 g/mol
The mass of stearic acid in 1 ml of solution is 0.1 g
Therefore number of moles in 1 ml is - 0.1 g / 284.48 g/mol = 0.000352 mol
Molarity is number of moles in 1 L of solution
If 1 ml contains - 0.000352 mol
Then 1 L solution contains - 0.000352 /1 x 1000 = 0.352 mol/L
Therefore molarity is 0.352 M

Ethanoic acid and 1-butanol can react to produce water and a compound classified as an 1) aldehyde 2) amine 3) ester 4) halide
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

3) ester

Explanation:

Esterification is the process in which alkanol and alkanoic acids reacts in the presence of a catalyst and heat. The product is usually an ester(alkanoate) and water.

For the reaction between ethanoic acid and 1-butanol, the product is butylethanoate and water as shown below:

               CH₃COOH + C₄H₈OH → CH₃COOC₄H₈ + H₂O
