A chemical reaction does happen between sodium and water to form Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) and Hydrogen Gas (H-2)
From ideal gas equation PV = nRT, V/T = nR/P ==> V/T = constant. Therefore V1/T1 = V2/T2 ==> 7.8/698 = V2/308. V = 3.44L {TEMPERATURE IN KELVIN = 273 + 425 AND 35 = 698 AND 308}
The question above is incomplete, the full question is given below:
What additional test would be needed to establish the exact position of hydrogen in the activity series of the following elements: magnesium, zinc, lead, copper and silver.
ANSWER
The position of hydrogen on a reactivity series can be determined by its ability to displace oxygen from the oxide of the metal concerned. If hydrogen is more reactive than a metal, it will displace oxygen from the metal oxide and reduce the metal oxide to its metal. If the metal is more reactive than hydrogen, hydrogen will not be able to reduce the metal oxide to its metal.
Answer:
heat energy are absorbed by water molecules and it is used to change the molecules from liquid to gas? if thats what your asking.
