<h3>Answer:</h3>

                      2.55 × 10²² Na Atoms

<h3>Solution:</h3>

Data Given:

                 M.Mass of Na  =   23 g.mol⁻¹

                 Mass of Na  =  973 mg  =  0.973 g

                 # of Na Atoms  =  ??

Step 1: Calculate Moles of Na as:

               Moles  =  Mass ÷ M.Mass

               Moles  =  0.973 g ÷ 23 g.mol⁻¹

               Moles  =  0.0423 mol

Step 2: Calculate No, of Na Atoms as:

As 1 mole of sodium atoms counts 6.022 × 10²³ and equals exactly to the mass of 23 g. So, we can write,

               Moles  =  No. of Na Atoms ÷ 6.022 × 10²³ Na Atoms.mol⁻¹

Solving for No. of Na Atoms,

               No. of Na Atoms  =   Moles × 6.022 × 10²³ Na Atoms.mol⁻¹

               No. of Na Atoms  =   0.0423 mol × 6.022 × 10²³ Na Atoms.mol⁻¹

               No. of Na Atoms  =  2.55 × 10²² Na Atoms

<h3>Conclusion: </h3>

                          2.55 × 10²² sodium atoms are required to reach a total mass of 973 mg in a substance of pure sodium.

Which of the following solutions would have the lowest freezing point? 1.0 nacl 3.0 nacl 2.0 nacl or 5.0 nacl
Scilla [17]
The solution that will have the lowest freezing point is 5.0 SODIUM CHLORIDE. 
Adding solute to solvents usually result in the depression of the freezing point. The higher the quantity of the solute that is added, the lower the freezing point of the solution.

Describe the properties of alkali metals. Based on their electronic arrangement, explain whether they exist alone in nature.
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

- They are highly reactive metals

- They have low electro negativity

- They have low ionization energy

- They don't exist alone in nature

- They have low densities

Explanation:

Alkali metals are the elements in group 1 of the periodic table. They include Sodium, Lithium, Potassium e.t.c.

Due to the fact they have one atom in their outermost shell, they are very unstable because they easily react with other elements and are therefore don't exist alone in nature but combined with other elements for this same reason.

Since alkali metals don't easily attract other elements due to it's lone pair in the outer most shell, it can be said to have low electro negativity.

Also, they don't need energy to discharge their electrons since they are highly reactive due to their lone pair in the outermost shell and so we say they have low ionization energy.

Due to this reason, they also have low densities.

oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

Grinding or breaking an Alka-Seltzer tablet increases the number of particles and increases the surface area. Material which was within the tablet is exposed, allowing for more collisions between reactant particles and resulting in an increased rate of reaction.
