All you can conclude is that something must be burning with an orange flame.

Actually, the "something" that must be burning is the hydrogen that is produced when the sodium reacts with the water:

2Na + 2H₂O → 2NaOH + H₂ + heat

So much heat is produced that the hydrogen catches fire and some of the sodium evaporates into the flame.

The electrons in the sodium atoms get "excited" in the flame. When they drop back to a lower energy level, they emit energy in the form of an orange-yellow light.

Describe the temperature changes that occur in ice as energy is added, starting in the frozen state and ending in the vapor stat
Ket [755]

Explanation:

When water is frozen then it is known as ice and its state is solid. So, its molecules will be held closer to each other as they are held by strong intermolecular forces of attraction.

As a result, its temperature will be minimum as its molecules have least kinetic energy.

It is known that kinetic energy of a substance is directly proportional to temperature.

As,            K.E = \frac{3}{2}kT

where            K.E = kinetic energy

                       T = temperature

                       k = boltzmann constant

When solid changes into liquid state then it means molecules of a substance has gained kinetic energy due to which there occurs more collisions between the molecules.

Hence, temperature of substance also increases.

Whereas when liquid state of a substance changes intro vapor state then it means that more kinetic energy has gained by the molecules due to which there will be much more collisions between the molecules.

Hence, temperature will be maximum in vapor state.

A mixture of 5L of H2 and 3L O2 reacts to form H2O (g) at constant T and P .Find the
slamgirl [31]

The  volume of H₂O = 5 L

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

5L of H₂ and 3L O₂

Reaction

2H₂ (g) + O₂(g)  ⇒2H₂O(g)

Required

The  volume of H₂O

Solution

Avogadro's hypothesis:  

<em>In the same T,P and V, the gas contains the same number of molecules  </em>

So the ratio of gas volume will be equal to the ratio of gas moles  

mol H₂ = 5, mol O₂ = 3

  • Find limiting reactants

From equation, mol ratio H₂ : O₂ = 2 : 1, so :

\tt H_2\div O_2=\dfrac{mol~H_2}{coefficient}\div \dfrac{mol~O_2}{coefficient}\\\\=\dfrac{5}{2}\div \dfrac{3}{1}=2.5\div 3\rightarrow H_2~limiting~reactant(smaller~ratio)

  • Find volume H₂O

mol H₂O based on mol H₂, and from equation mol ratio H₂ : H₂O=2 : 2, so mol H₂O = 5 mol and the volume also 5 L
