Answer:
The right answer is "60.56 atm".
Explanation:
As we know,
Vander wall's equation is:
⇒ 
or,
⇒ 
Here,
a = 3.59 L² atm mol⁻²
b = 0.0427 L mol⁻¹
By putting the values in the above equation, we get
⇒ 
% mass Na = (g Na / g H2O) x 100
<span>g Na = (% mass Na)(g H2O) / 100 = (5.2 x 10^-4 g Na / g H2O) </span>
<span>2.4 g Na x (1 g H2O / 5.2 x 10^-4 g Na) = 4600 g Na </span>
<span>4600 g Na x (1 mL H2O / 1 g H2O) = 4600 mL H2O = 4.6 L H2O which is a little more than a gallon</span>
Particles in a solid state can only vibrate. In a liquid state, they slide against each other. And in a gas state, they move freely, bouncing and bumping into each other.
When metals and non-metals react the metal element loses it's electron to the non-metal which result in it becoming positively charged (cation) while the non-metal who has gained more electrons than the proton in it's nucleus thus off-setting the neutral balance become negatively charged. Once this happens, the ions become attracted to each other (opposites attract) and result in them forming very strong IONIC BONDS.
