Answer:
4.6 × 10²³ molecules:
Step-by-step solution
You will need a balanced equation with masses, moles, and molar masses, so let's gather the information in one place:
M_r: 22.99
2Na + 2H₂O ⟶ 2NaOH + H₂
m/g: 35
1. Calculate the <em>moles of Na
</em>
Moles of Na = 35 g Na × (1 mol Na/22.99 g Na)
Moles of Na = 1.52 mol Na
2. Calculate the <em>moles of H₂
</em>
Moles of H₂ = 1.52 mol Na × (1 mol H₂/2 mol Na)
Moles of H₂= 0.761 mol H₂
3. Calculate the molecules of H₂
6.022 × 10²³ molecules H₂ = 1 mol H₂
Molecules of H₂ = 0.761 × (6.022 × 10²³
/1)
Molecules of H₂ = 4.6 × 10²³ molecules H₂
The reaction forms 4.6 × 10²³ molecules of H₂.
Answer:
a) alkali metals
Explanation:
The element described above definitely belonged to the alkali metals, the first group on the periodic table. They show the properties indicated in the text.
- They are metals because only metals are lustrous and malleable. This eliminates the possibility of them being halogens and noble gases.
- Only group 1 metals reacts vigorously with water to form alkali.
- Alkali are aqueous solutions that are basic in nature.
- The reactivity of group 1 metals is due to their one extra electrons in the outer most shell.
- These electrons are easily and readily lost in order for such atoms to gain stability and replicate the nearest noble gases.
- The most reactive metal belongs to this group elements.
- This is why it is nearly impossible to find them occurring alone in free state.
- Some of the elements in this group are Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs and Fr.
- Transition metals have variable oxidation states and some can be found alone in nature.
Answer is the last one, it will not ionize, it already has an octet of electrons in it's valance shell
