When methane is burned with oxygen, the products are carbon dioxide and water. If you produce 9 grams of water and 11 grams of carbon dioxide from 16 grams of oxygen, how many grams of methane were needed for the reaction? First you need to write a balanced chemical equation.
Answer:
1.44 x 10²⁵ ions of Na⁺
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Mass of NaCl = 1.4kg = 1400g
Unknown:
Number of ions of sodium = ?
Solution:
The compound NaCl in ionic form can be written as;
NaCl → Na⁺ + Cl⁻
In 1 mole of NaCl we have 1 mole of sodium ions
Now, let us find the number of moles in NaCl;
Number of moles =
Molar mass of NaCl = 23 + 35.5 = 58.5g/mol
Number of moles =
= 23.93mol
So;
Since 1 mole of NaCl gives 1 mole of Na⁺
In 23.93 mole of NaCl will give 23.93 mole of Na⁺
1 mole of a substance = 6.02 x 10²³ ions of a substance
23.93 mole of a substance = 6.02 x 10²³ x 23.93
= 1.44 x 10²⁵ ions of Na⁺
Atoms must gain or lose electrons in order to become ions if they are to form ionic bonds.
Because they’re both made up of two substances that are not chemically combined
