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.

21 mL It required 42.35 mL of H2SO4 to neutralize 21.17 mL of 0.5000 M NaOH. Calculate the concentration of H2SO4
bija089 [108]
The balanced equation for the above reaction is 
2NaOH + H₂SO₄ ---> Na₂SO₄ + 2H₂O
stoichiometry of NaOH to H₂SO₄ is 2:1
number of NaOH moles required-0.5000 M / 1000 mL/L x 21.17 mL = 0.010585 mol
According to stoichiometry, acid moles required are 1/2 of the base moles reacted
Therefore number of H₂SO₄ moles reacted - 0.010585 /2  mol
Number of moles in 42.35 mL of H₂SO₄ - 0.010585 /2 mol
Therefore in 1 L solution - (0.010585) /2 / 42.35 mL x 1000 mL/L = 0.125 M
Molarity of H₂SO₄ - 0.125 M

Espresso Coffee House is designing a coffee mug that keeps liquids hot. The research department tested several different materia
raketka [301]

Answer:

This question is incomplete

Explanation:

This question is incomplete because the result of the described experiment would have better determined the type of scientific explanation to profer. However, the type of material that will preserve the relative hotness or temperature of the hot coffee for the longest time will be a material than can resist heat transfer. These materials tend to keep hot substances hot by not allowing the heat of the coffee to be conducted or pass through it. These materials are mostly insulators or made by placing an insulator between two heat conductors.

Generally, heat is usually transferred from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration, hence when the heat is denied of this transfer, the heat will remain trapped in the "heat-donor" substance (in this case the hot coffee). Thus, the material chosen (A, B or C) will be the material that resists heat transfer the most based on the explanation above.

How do forensic scientists determine the time of death? There are timely pieces of evidence that help scientists with this task.
UNO [17]

I have done some research as well as asking some friends. This is what I came up with. Not sure if it is 100% correct.

step = time after death

1. Livor Mortis = 20-30 minutes

2. Eyes film (cloud) = 2 hours

3. Rigor Mortis begins = 4-6 hours

4. Empty small intestines = 12 hours

5. Bloating = 3-5 days

6. Decay

Why is a phenol more acidic than a regular alcohol? Group of answer choices
Aleks [24]

Answer:

a.Phenols have the ability to spread out the negative charge that forms.

Explanation:

This happens because of  the aromatic ring the phenols have. When loosing the proton, the anion formed have different resonance isomers due to the double bonds in the aromatic ring. This resonance makes the anion more stable and prevents the reaction going backwards.

On the other hand, regular alcohol doesn't have resonace and the reaction of loosing the proton goes leftward and righward: is in equilibrium.

That equilibrium decreases the acidity of the alcohol.
