Read the given equation. 2Na + 2H2O ? 2NaOH + H2 During a laboratory experiment, a certain quantity of sodium metal reacted with

water to produce sodium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. What was the initial quantity of sodium metal used if 7.80 liters of H2 gas were produced at STP?

Answer:

The number of moles of Na metal that used initially = 0.70 mol.

The quantity of Na metal used initially to produce 7.80 of H₂ gas = 16.02 g.

Explanation:

  • It is a stichiometry problem.

<em>2Na + 2H₂O → 2NaOH + H₂,</em>

  • The balanced equation shows that <em>2.0 moles of Na metal </em>react with 2.0 moles of water to produce 2.0 moles of NaOH and <em>1.0 mole of H₂</em>,
  • Firstly, we need to convert the volume of H₂ (7.80 L) produced to no. of moles (n) using the ideal gas law: <em>PV = nRT</em>,

where, P is the pressure of the gas in atm<em> (P at STP = 1.0 atm)</em>,

V is the volume of the gas in L <em>(V = 7.80 L)</em>,

n is the number of moles in mole,

R is the general gas constant<em> (R = 0.082 L.atm/mol)</em>,

T is the temperature of the gas in K <em>(T at STP = 0.0 °C + 273 = 273.0 K)</em>.

∴ The number of moles of H₂ gas (n) = PV / RT = [(1.0 atm)(7.80 L)] / [(0.082 L.atm/mol.K)(273.0 K)] = 0.35 mol.

<em>Using cross multiplication:</em>

2.0 moles of Na will produce → 1.0 mole of H₂, from the stichiometrey.

??? moles of Na will produce → 0.35 mole of H₂.

∴ The number of moles of Na metal that used initially = (2.0 mol)(0.35 mol) / (1.0 mol) = 0.70 mol.

Now, we can get the quantity of Na metal using the relation:

∴ mass = n x molar mass = (0.70 mol)(22.989 g/mol) = 16.02 g.

5. Which statement is true about electronegativity?
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

Electronegativity generally increases from left to right across a period,

Explanation:

The true statement from the given choices is that electronegativity generally increases from left to right across a period.

Electronegativity is the measure of the relative tendency with which an atom of the element attract valence electrons in a chemical bond.

Across a period electronegativity increases from left to right and decreases down the group.

This is due to reduction in metallic properties as we move across the period from left to right.

What causes water to become denser when it is carried to the poles by surface currents? increased temperature and increased sali
Anarel [89]

Answer:

The answer is decreased temperature and increased salinity

Explanation:

It is what is known as the thermohaline circulation

The thermohaline circulation moves the water slowly. This water moves mainly due to differences in its relative density. Much denser water sinks over water that is less dense. Two factors impact the density of seawater: temperature and salinity.

Cold water is denser than hot water:

-Water cools when it loses heat, it occurs at high latitudes.

-Water is heated when it receives energy from the sun, at low latitudes.

Saltier water is much denser than water that has less salt:

-Sea water becomes salty if the evaporation rate increases.

-Sea water becomes less salty if there is a water inlet over the sea.

Summarize why the carbon cycle supports the Law of Conservation of Matter
sasho [114]
The Law of Conservation of Matter states that matter cannot be created or destroyed. The carbon cycle is an example of the Law because the same carbon atoms are being recycled through the carbon cycle. ... Carbon is used for energy, and some is stored for growth.

What makes atoms different than<br> ions?
DENIUS [597]

Answer:the term 'atom' in chemistry represents the basic unit of matter that normally exists in a free state and contains all chemical properties. It is an infinite particle that clearly identifies a chemical element. It consists of a positively charged nucleus and is surrounded by negatively charged electrons.

An ion or charge is an atom or group of atoms that has lost or gained one or more electrons. An ion that has a negative charge, when it gains one or more electrons, is called an anion or negative charge, and an ion that has a positive charge when it loses one or more electrons, is called a cation or positive charge.
