The Na2O valence is

1 answer:

5 0

Sodium, like all the elements on that column have one valence electron. Valence electrons are the electrons found at the most outer shell of an atom. These are the electrons that do all the chemistry stuff. Oxygen on the other hand has six valence electrons. Adding just one sodium atom to an oxygen atom won’t create a stable bond( eight valence electrons). Sodium needs to lose one electron while oxygen needs to gain two. Therefore, by adding two sodiums( each transfers one electron to oxygen) to one oxygen, you get a stable bond and Sodium Oxide. I hope that this helps.

The chemical equation of photosynthesis includes 6o2. which best describes this substance?

LenaWriter [7]

The chemical equation of photosynthesis includes 6 $O_{2}$ . -----a gas produced during photosynthesis best describes this substance

Elaborate:

During photosynthesis plants use carbon dioxide, water and sunlight to make sugar (glucose) and a waste product, oxygen gas.

the equation of this process can be:

6 $CO_{2}$ + 6 $H_{2} O$ + light energy → $C_{6} H_{12} O_{6}$ + 6 $O_{2}$

carbon dioxide + water + light → glucose + oxygen

Is 6 $O_{2}$ a product of photosynthesis?

In photosynthesis, energy from light is used to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. For 6 carbon dioxide and 6 water molecules, 1 glucose molecule and 6 oxygen molecules are produced.

What happens to sugar water oxygen and carbon dioxide during photosynthesis?

During photosynthesis, plants take in carbon dioxide and water from the air and soil. Within the plant cell, the water is oxidized, meaning it loses electrons, while the carbon dioxide is reduced, meaning it gains electrons. This transforms the water into oxygen and the carbon dioxide into glucose.

Which of the following is necessary to increase the rate of a reaction?

irga5000 [103]

Rate of Reaction ca be increased by applying following changes,

1) Increase in Temperature:
Increase in Temperature results in the increase of Kinetic Energy, Hence, velocity of reactants increases and rate of collisions increases. Thus, more reactants colloid with enough energy to change into products in given time.

2) Decrease in Activation Energy:
Activation energy is the minimum amount of energy required by reactants to cross the energy barrier to convert into products. Hence, activation energy is decreased by using catalyst.

3) Concentration of Reactants:
The greater the concentration of reactants, greater is the number of reactants per volume. More reactants in less area increase the probability of collision. Hence, collisions increase and rate of reaction increases.

4) Increasing Surface Area of Reactant:
Greater the surface area greater is the rate of reaction.

The value of the metal in 2p coins, made in 1991 is now worth 3.3p.

Studentka2010 [4]

The coins in 1991 had more copper in them compared to the coins today. So, that is why it worth 3.3p.
