What happens when piece of sodium is exposed to moist air?​

Chemistry
1 answer:
I am Lyosha [343]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Sodium reacts with the oxygen in air to form sodium oxide, and traces of yellowish sodium peroxide. ... Probably, the reaction with atmospheric oxygen will be faster, because I have never seen sodium metal turning whitish on exposure, though it does lose its lustre and and reactivity (just the surface).

pantera1 [17]
M(NH₃)=51g, n(NH₃)=m/M=51g÷17g/mol(14+3×1)=3mol
N(NH₃)=n×Na(Avogadro number)=3mol×6·10²³1/mol=18×10²³ molecules

2 H2O2(aq) ----> 2 H2O(l) + O2(g) in the presence of I-(aq) is proposed to be: Step 1 (slow): H2O2 + I- -----> H2O + OI- S
andrezito [222]

Answer:

Molecularity of the rate determining step = 2

Explanation:

Step 1 (slow): H₂O₂ + I⁻ -----> H₂O + OI⁻

Step 2 (fast): H₂O₂ + OI⁻ -----> H₂O + O₂ + I⁻

The rate determining step in a reaction mechanism is also considered as slowest step.

Slowest step is also considered its highest activation energy in energy profile diagram.

In this case intermediate  (IO⁻) is formed.

Step 1 considered as a slowest step.

So,  Rate = K [H₂O₂][I⁻]

  Molecularity = 2

A preliminary untested explanation that tries to explain how or why things happen in the manner observed is a scientific
icang [17]
It is a scientific hypothesis. A scientific hypothesis must be testable, however there is a significantly more grounded necessity that a testable speculation must meet before it can truly be viewed as logical. This foundation comes essentially from crafted by the rationalist of science Karl Popper, and is called "falsifiability".
