Why is sodium chloride not a mixture? Why is sodium chloride a compound?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Anvisha [2.4K]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:Sodium chloride solid is not a mixture. ... It cannot be physically separated into its components, Na+ and Cl−

Explanation:Sodium chloride is formed when sodium atoms interact with chlorine atoms. When this occurs, sodium will donate an electron (which is a negatively-charged particle) to chlorine. This makes sodium slightly positive and chlorine slightly negative.

Opposite charges attract, right? So then, sodium ions will attract chloride ions and form an ionic bond. By the way, chloride is the term used to designate the anion form of chlorine. The result is a crystallized salt that has properties that are different from the two parent elements (sodium and chlorine). The chemical formula for sodium chloride is NaCl, which means that for every sodium atom present, there is exactly one chloride atom.

Be sure to answer all parts. A concentration cell consists of two Sn/Sn2+ half-cells. The electrolyte in compartment A is 0.23 M
kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

Part A. The half-cell B is the cathode and the half-cell A is the anode

Part B. 0.017V

Explanation:

Part A

The electrons must go from the anode to the cathode. At the anode oxidation takes place, and at the cathode a reduction, so the flow of electrons must go from the less concentrated solution to the most one (at oxidation the concentration intends to increase, and at the reduction, the concentration intends to decrease).

So, the half-cell B is the cathode and the half-cell A is the anode.

Part B

By the Nersnt equation:

E°cell = E° - (0.0592/n)*log[anode]/[cathode]

Where n is the number of electrons being changed in the reaction, in this case, n = 2 (Sn goes from S⁺²). Because the half-reactions are the same, the reduction potential of the anode is equal to the cathode, and E° = 0 V.

E°cell = 0 - (0.0592/2)*log(0.23/0.87)

E°cell = 0.017V

Why neon is special from other chemical elements​
kupik [55]
Noble gases react very unwillingly, because the outermost shell of electrons orbiting the nucleus is full, giving these gases no incentive to swap electrons with other elements. As a result, there are very few compounds made with noble gases. Like its noble gas comrades, neon is odorless and colorless.

Perform the following conversions:<br> (a) 68°F (a pleasant spring day) to °C and K.
IgorC [24]

Converting  temperature of 68°F to °C gives 20 °C.

Converting  temperature of 68°F to K gives 293 K.

<h3>What is temperature conversion?</h3>

Temperature conversion is the process of converting  the measurement units of the temperature recorded in a particular unit to another unit.

The various units of Temperature include;

  • degree Celsius
  • degree Fahrenheit
  • degree Kelvin

Temperature is measured with thermometer and it records the hotness or coldness of a body.

<h3>Converting  68°F to °C</h3>

F = 1.8C + 32

(F - 32/1.8) = C

(68 - 32) / 1.8 = C

20 ⁰C = 68 ⁰F

<h3>Converting  20°C to K</h3>

0 °C  = 273 K

20 °C  = 273 + 20 = 293 K
