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.

How many grams of silver nitrate are needed to react with 156.2g of sodium sulfide to produce 595.8g of silver sulfide and 340.0
qaws [65]
Before proceeding, we should write the reaction equation to better understand what is happening:
2AgNO₃ + Na₂S → Ag₂S + 2NaNO₃

Now, we may apply the law of conservation of mass, due to which the total mass before a chemical reaction is equivalent to the total mass after a chemical reaction. Therefore:
Mass of silver nitrate + mass of sodium sulfide = mass of silver sulfide + mass of sodium nitrate

Mass of silver nitrate + 156.2 = 595.8 + 340
Mass of silver nitrate = 779.6 grams

calculate the number of coulombs of positive charge in 250cm 3 of (neutral) water. (hint: a hydrogen atom contains one proton; a
Sidana [21]

Number of coulombs of positive charge in 250cm^3 water is 1.3×10^7 C

The volume of 250 cm^3 corresponds to a mass of 250 g since the density of water is 1.0 g/cm^3

This mass corresponds to 250/18 = 14 moles since the molar mass of water is 18. There are ten proton (each with charge q = +e) in each molecule of H_{2}O So,

Q = 14NA  q =14(6.02×10^23)(10)(1.60×10^−19C) = 1.3×10^7 C.

Mass is the quantity of matter in a physical body. It is also a measure of the body's inertia, the resistance to acceleration when a net force is applied. An object's mass also determines the strength of its gravitational attraction to other bodies.

Trans-2-butene does not exhibit a signal in the double-bond region of the spectrum (1600–1850 cm−1); however, ir spectroscopy is
Elza [17]
However <em>trans</em>-2-Butene does not give a characteristic peak in 1620-1680 cm⁻¹ region but still the presence of carbon double bond carbon can be detected by detecting following peaks in IR Spectrum.

1)  3010-3100 cm⁻¹:
                               As in trans-2-Butene a hydrogen atoms ate attached to sp² hybridized carbon, therefore the stretching of =C-H (C-H) bond will give a peak of medium intensity in the range of 3010-3100 cm⁻¹.

2)  675-1000 cm⁻¹:
                             Another peak which is given by the bending of =C-H (C-H) bond with strong intensity will appear in the range of 675-1000 cm⁻¹.
