Reaction of sodium with water

Sodium metal reacts rapidly with water to form a colourless solution of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and hydrogen gas (H2). The resulting solution is basic because of the dissolved hydroxide. The reaction is exothermic. During the reaction, the sodium metal may well become so hot that it catches fire and burns with a characteristic orange colour. The reaction is slower than that of potassium (immediately below sodium in the periodic table), but faster than that of lithium (immediately above sodium in the periodic table).

2Na(s) + 2H2O → 2NaOH(aq) + H2(g)

vladimir1956 [14]

I would imagine they’d be equal.
F = ma
We can treat mass and force as constants because they do not change throughout both systems and they are the same on both systems. That would mean the acceleration would be the same for both systems.

An explanation of this could be the two forces are acting in different directions, so one is positively accelerating the object and the other is negatively accelerating it

What is the ph of a solution labeled .30 trimethylamine k for trimethylamine is 7.42 x 10^4

valentina_108 [34]

Answer:the pH is 12

Explanation:

First We need to understand the structure of trimethylamine

Due to the grades of the bond in the nitrogen with a hybridization sp3 is 108° approximately, then is generated a dipole magnetic at the upper side of the nitrogen, this dipole magnetic going to attract a hydrogen molecule of the water making the water more alkaline

C3H9N+ H2O --> C3H9NH + OH-

$k=\frac{[C3H9NH]*[OH-]}{[C3H9N]}$

Then:

The concentration of the trimethylamine is 0.3 and the concentration of the ion C3H9NH is equal to the OH- relying on the stoichiometric equation. We could find the concentration of the OH- ion with the square root of the multiplication between k and the concentration of trimethylamine

[OH-]= $\sqrt{ 0.3*7.42x10^{-4}}$

[OH-]=0.01

pH=14-(-log[OH-])

pH=12
