Unlike nuclear reactions, nuclear reactions are not affected by changes in temperature,
pressure, of the presence of catalysts. Also nuclear reactions of given radioisotope cannot be slowed down, speeded up, or stopped.
Answer:
The answer is 6.25g.
Explanation:
First create your balanced equation. This will give you the stoich ratios needed to answer the question:
2C8H18 + 25O2 → 16CO2 + 18H2O
Remember, we need to work in terms of NUMBERS, but the question gives us MASS. Therefore the next step is to convert the mass of O2 into moles of O2 by dividing by the molar mass:
7.72 g / 16 g/mol = 0.482 mol
Now we can use the stoich ratio from the equation to determine how many moles of H2O are produced:
x mol H2O / 0.482 mol O2 = 18 H2O / 25 O2
x = 0.347 mol H2O
The question wants the mass of water, so convert moles back into mass by multiplying by the molar mass of water:
0.347 mol x 18 g/mol = 6.25g
Answer:
Sodium is a silvery-white metal that reacts with chlorine gas, which is a yellow-greenish gas that is toxic. The reaction gives off a lot of heat. After the reaction, which statement is true about the chemical properties of the product, sodium chloride?
Pure sodium reacts violently and sometimes explosively with water producing sodium hydroxide, hydrogen gas and heat
2Na(s) + 2H2O(l) → 2NaOH(aq) + H2(g)
Chlorine is a very poisonous yellow green gas with a sharp odour that was used in gas warfare during WW1
Sodium and chlorine reacts with each other, however, to produce one of the most familiar substance used in cooking and preservation industry today Sodium Chloride or Common salt or table salt in the irreversible equation;
2Na(s) + Cl2(g) → 2NaCl(s)
Explanation:
It is easy to see why this reaction takes place so readily sodium has one electron in its outermost valence shell while chlorine has seven electrons in its valence shell. when sodium atom transfers one electron to chlorine atom forming a sodium cation (Na+) and a chloride anion (Cl-) both ions have complete valence shells and are energetically more stable. the reaction is extremely exothermic, producing a bright yellow light and a great deal of heat and fumes of sodium chloride.
In a reaction observation of the reaction process you will see sodium flares up almost immediately upon reaction with water.
