Answer: 2.8 moles
Explanation:
The balanced equation below shows that 1 mole of sodium oxide reacts with 1 mole of water to form 2 moles of sodium hydroxide respectively.
Na2O + H2O --> 2NaOH
1 mole of H2O = 2 moles of NaOH
Let Z moles of H2O = 5.6 mole of NaOH
To get the value of Z, cross multiply
5.6 moles x 1 mole= Z x 2 moles
5.6 = 2Z
Divide both sides by 2
5.6/2 = 2Z/2
2.8 = Z
Thus, 2.8moles of H2O are needed to produce 5.6 mol of NaOH
Explanation:
Non-metals are the species that are electron deficient and they are able to accept one or more electrons from a donor atom in order to complete their octet.
For example, carbon (C), nitrogen (N), chlorine, (Cl), phosphorus (P) etc are all non-metals.
Metals are the species that contain more number of electrons in their valence shell and in order to attain stability they easily lose an electron.
For example, sodium (Na), lithium (Li), Beryllium (Be), Magnesium (Mg) etc are all metals.
Metalloids are the species that show properties of both metals and non-metals.
For example, Boron (B), Antimony (Sb), Silicon (Si) and Germanium (Ge) etc are metalloids.
Mg₃N₂ + 6H₂O = 3Mg(OH)₂ + 2NH₃
3Zn + 8HNO3 ---> 3Zn(NO3)2 + 4H2O + 2NO IF IT IS COLD AND DILUT NITRIC ACID .
IF IT IS HOT AND CONCENTRATED THEN:
Zn+ 4HNO3 ---> Zn(NO3)2 +2H2O +2NO2
Explanation:
A mixture in which there is uniform distribution of solute particles into the solvent is known as a homogeneous mixture.
For example, sugar dissolved in water is a homogeneous mixture.
On the other hand, a mixture in which there is uneven distribution of solute particles into the solvent is known as a heterogeneous mixture.
For example, sand present in water is a heterogeneous mixture.
Comment on given situations will be as follows.
(a) Air in a closed bottle - It is a homogeneous mixture because there will be even distribution of other gases that are present in air.
(b) Air over New York City - It is a heterogeneous mixture because there will be presence of some dust particles, fog or smoke into the air. Distribution of all these particles will be uneven. This will make air over New York City heterogeneous in nature.
