Answer:
The concentration of species in 500 mL of a 2.104 M solution of sodium sulfate is 4.208 M sodium ion and 2.104 M sulfate ion. (option E)
Explanation:
Step 1: Data given
Volume = 500 mL = 0.500 L
The concentration sodium sulfate = 2.104 M
Step 2: The equation
Na2SO4 → 2Na+ + SO4^2-
For 1 mol Na2SO4 we have 2 moles sodium ion (Na+) and 1 mol sulfate ion (SO4^2-)
Step 3: Calculate the concentration of the ions
[Na+] = 2*2.104 M = 4.208 M
[SO4^2-] = 1*2.104 M = 2.104 M
The concentration of species in 500 mL of a 2.104 M solution of sodium sulfate is 4.208 M sodium ion and 2.104 M sulfate ion. (option E)
Answer:
The activation energy of a chemical reaction is the energy that is required to be supplied for a chemical reaction to take place. The activation energy for the reaction of sodium is low compared to the energy released such that the reaction of sodium and water is spontaneous resulting in the melting of the sodium into liquid form
The activation energy of a candle wax is much higher, requiring the ignition of the wick which burns and in turn melts the candle wax to release vapors that burns alongside the wick to produce sooth carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and water vapor and release of heat energy which also fuels further combustion of the candle wax and wick
Therefore, the activation energy of the candle wax and wick which require the heat of direct flame from an ignited matches is higher than the activation energy of sodium placed in a medium of water that reacts spontaneously without heat application
Explanation:
The metric system is used because it is based on the number 10. Ten is easy to use for mathematical operations and conversions.
It is also easy to use for scientific notation when you are referring to powers of ten. There are extremely large and extremely small numbers in science. Thus, scientific notation allows for accurate abbreviated ways to symbolize these numbers. For instance, if I were to say 1,000, in scientific notation it would be 1 x 10 ^3. If I was to say 1,000,000, I would scientifically write 1 x 10 ^6.
