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)

(c) O2 gas is transferred from a 3 L vessel containing oxygen at 4 atm to an evacuated 20 L vessel at a constant temperature of
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

After the transfer the pressure inside the 20 L vessel is 0.6 atm.

Explanation:

Considering O2 as an ideal gas, it is at an initial state (1) with V1 = 3L and P1 = 4 atm. And a final state (2) with V2 = 20L. The temperature remain constant at all the process, thus here applies the Boyle-Mariotte law. This law establishes that at a constant temperature an ideal gas the relationship between pressure and volume remain constant at all time:

P x V = k

Therefore, for this problem the step by step explanation is:

P_{1} xV_{1} = P_{2} xV_{2}

Clearing P2 and replacing

P_{2}= \frac{P_{1} xV_{1}}{V_{2} } = \frac{4atmx3L}{20L} = 0.6atm

HELPPPPP ME <br><br>PLISSSSS ​
Talja [164]

Answer:

pH value of a solution depends on the concentration of hydrogen ions

(pH = -log[H+(aq)].

Hydrochloric acid is a strong acid, while ethanoic acid is a weak acid. Strong acids ionize completely in water (to give ions which includes H+(aq)), while weak acids only ionize partially in water.  

Therefore, even if both hydrochloric acid and ethanoic acid are monobasic acids (each molecule can ionize completely to give 1 hydrogen ion), since hydrochloric acid ionizes completely in water and ethanoic acid does not ionize completely, the concentration of hydrogen ions in hydrochloric acid is higher than that of ethanoic acid, leading to a lower pH value for hydrochloric acid, while higher for ethanoic acid.

51.7ml at 27 Celsius and 90kpa to stp
never [62]
STP is the abbreviation of standard condition for temperature and pressure which is 273.15K temperature and 1.013× 10^5 Pa pressure. Since the pressure and temperature changes, I assume the question would ask about the result of the volume. The temperature used in ideal gas should be Kelvin, so 27 Celcius would be 300.15K.
The calculation would be
PV=T
V=T/P

V2/V1= T2*P1/T1*P2
V2/V1=273.15K*  90^10^3Pa/ 300.15K *  1.013× 10^5 Pa
V2= 0.81904 * 51.7ml
V2= 42.34ml
