When non-metal atoms ionize they gain electrons.<span> Some examples of this are the halogen elements: F, Cl, Br and I, each, can gain one electron from the respective anions, F-, Cl-, Br-, and I-. O and S, may gain two electrons to form the anions O2- and S2-. This is due to the fact that those elements only need one (in the case of the halogens) or two (in the case of O and S) electrons to reach the most stable configuration of the closest noble gas (with the last shell of electrons full), so they are ready to gain those electrons and form the corresponding ions.</span>

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Step 1;  NaHCO3(s) + CH3COOH(l)

Step 2 ; CO2(g)

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • The chemical equation for the reaction of baking soda (sodium bicarbonate, NaHCO3) and vinegar (acetic acid, CH3COOH) reaction occurs in two steps.

Step 1;  

  • A double displacement reaction in which acetic acid in the vinegar reacts with sodium bicarbonate to form sodium acetate and carbonic acid:
  • Equation;

NaHCO3(s)+ CH3COOH(l) → CH3COONa(aq) + H2CO3(l)

Step 2;

  • Carbonic acid is unstable and undergoes a decomposition reaction to produce the carbon dioxide gas:

H2CO3(l) → H2O(l) + CO2(g)

Alina [70]
<h2>Answer and Explanation </h2>

The body of water means the occurrence of water on earth’s surface. Examples are oceans,  lakes,  seas, ponds, and pools. The major bodies of water are:

  • Pacific ocean is the biggest and deepest of Earth's oceanic divisions. It stretches from the Arctic Ocean in the direction to the Southern Ocean.
  • Atlantic ocean is another giant of the world's oceans.  It includes nearly 20 percent of the Earth's exterior and nearly 29 percent of its water covering space.
  • The Indian Ocean is the third largest Ocean in the world. It is surrounded by Asia, Africa, and Australia.
  • Arctic ocean is the smallest and shallowest of the world's five main oceans.
  • Mediterranean sea is a sea is attached to the Atlantic Ocean.

How many liters of air must react with 2500 mL of hexane in order for combustion to occur completely. The percentage of oxygen i
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

118750 ml

Explanation:

The chemical equation for complete combustion of hexane is given as;

2C6H14 + 19O2 → 12CO2 + 14H2O  

From the equation of the reaction;

2 mol of C6H14 reacts with 19 mol of O2

2 ml of C6H14 reacts with 19 ml of O2

2500 mL of C6H14 would react with x ml of O2

2 = 19

2500 = x

x = 2500 * 19 / 2 = 23750 ml

Since oxygen is 20% of air;

23750 = 20 / 100 * (Volume of air)

Volume of air = 23750 * 100 / 20 = 118750 ml
