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.

1.Type of bonding in which electrons are completely transferred is called ionic bond.
2. Isotopes have same atomic number but different atomic mass number.
Atomic number = number of protons + number of neutrons
Therefore, A is correct. 
3. Nucleus is composed of neutrons and protons.
4. Chemical reactions follows the law of conservation of mass. Therefore mass of reactant = mass of product = 4 grams.
5. Again, mass of table salt formed should be equal to mass of (Na+Cl₂) = 4 grams.

The temperature and number of moles of a gas are held constant. Which of the following is true for the pressure of the gas?
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

Pressure is inversely proportional to the volume of gas.

Explanation:

According to Boyle's law,

The volume of given amount of gas is inversely proportional to the pressure applied on gas at constant volume and number of moles of gas.

Mathematical expression:

P ∝ 1/ V

P = K/V

PV = K

when volume is changed from V1 to V2 and pressure from P1 to P2 then expression will be.

P1V1 = K         P2V2 = K

P1V1 = P2V2

Consider the process in which HClO3 is converted to HClO2. The oxidation state of oxygen remains −2, and the oxidation state of
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

Option 1, Cl is reduced and gains electrons

Explanation:

HClO₃  → HClO₂

In HClO₃, chlorine acts with +5 in the oxidation state

In HClO₂,, chlorine acts with +3 in the oxidation state.

The state has been reducted, so the Cl has been reduced. As it was reduced, it means that has won e⁻, in this case 2

Cl⁻⁵  → Cl⁻³  +  2e⁻

How many grams of methane gas (CH4) need to be combusted to produce 12.5 L water vapor at 301 K and 1.1 atm? Show all of the wor
tangare [24]
Answer is: 4.45 grams of methane gas <span>need to be combusted</span>.
Balanced chemical reaction: CH₄ + 2O₂ → CO₂ + 2H₂O.
Ideal gas law: p·V = n·R·T.<span>
p = 1.1 atm.
T = 301 K.
V(H</span>₂O) <span>= 12.5 L.
R = 0,08206 L·atm/mol·K.
</span>n(H₂O) = <span>1.1 atm · 12.5 L ÷ 0,08206 L·atm/mol·K · 301 K.
</span>n(H₂O) = 0.556 mol.
From chemical reaction: n(H₂O) : n(CH₄) = 2 : 1.
n(CH₄) = 0.556 mol ÷ 2 = 0.278 mol.
m(CH₄) = 0.278 mol · 16 g/mol.
m(CH₄) = 4.448 g.

svetoff [14.1K]
A human body, just like a dog's, will sweat. Dogs will pants and sweat through the pads of their feet to cool down, and human will sweat through their foreheads, armpits, etc.
Dogs will tend to, in hot environments, lay on the floor or where the surface is cooler. Since they cannot simply strip their clothing to keep cool they tend to find cool surfaces, fans, sources of air, etc. to keep cool from the heat.
