When sodium metal is added to water, an orange flame is observed on the metal surface. Based on this observation, what can best

be concluded?

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.

Suppose a piece of silver jewelry contains 5.23×1022 atoms of silver (ag). part a how many dozens of silver atoms are in the pie
IgorC [24]
Answer:
number of dozens = 4.35834 * 10^21 dozens

Explanation:
A dozen contains 12 atoms. To know the number of dozens containing
5.23 * 10^22 atoms, all we have to do is cross multiplication as follows:
1 dozen ...........> 12 atoms
?? dozens ......> <span>5.23 * 10^22 
number of dozens = (</span><span>5.23 * 10^22 *1) / (12)
number of dozens = 4.35834 * 10^21 dozens

Hope this helps :)</span>

What is the concentration of a saturated solution of SrSO4? SrSO4 has a Ksp of 3.2 x 10–7
Andrej [43]
SrSo4 = Sr(2+) + SO4(2-)

Let’s say that the initial concentration of SrSo4 was 1. ( or we have 1 mole of this reagent).

When The reaction occurs part of SrSo4is dissociated. And we get X mole Sr(2+) and So4(2-).
Ksp=[Sr(2+)]*[SO4(2-)]
X^2=3.2*10^-7
X=5.6*10^-4

The equilibrium constant for the chemical equation is Kp = 5.23 at 191 °C. Calculate the value of the Kc for the reaction at 191
Lapatulllka [165]
To convert from Kp to Kc, you need this formula---> Kp= Kc (RT)^Δn, where Δn= gas moles of product- gas moles of reactants. since you did not give a reaction formula, I can't calculate Δn. but all once you find it out. just plug it. 

Kp= Kc (RT)^Δn------------------> Kc= Kp/[(RT)^Δn]
 Kp= 5.23
R= 0.0821
T= 191 C= 464 K
Δn= ?

Kc= 5.23/ (0.0821 x 464)^Δn= ???

What is the base dissociation constant for a weak base at equilibrium, B + H2O &lt;===&gt; BH+ + OH–?
podryga [215]
Depends on what the base is. You would reference the base dissociation chart for that value.
