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.

PLEASE HELP What's the mass in grams of 0.442 moles of calcium bromide, CaBr2? The atomic
djverab [1.8K]

Answer: Thus there are 88.4 g of calcium bromide.

Explanation:

According to avogadro's law, 1 mole of every substance weighs equal to the molecular mass and contains avogadro's number 6.023\times 10^{23} of particles.

Molar mass of = 40.1 (1)+ 2(79.9) = 199.9  

To calculate the moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text {Molar mass}}

0.442=\frac{x}{199.9}

x=88.4g

Thus there are 88.4 g of calcium bromide.

Please help me do this question.
masya89 [10]

Answer:

In chemistry, there are three definitions in common use of the word base, known as Arrhenius bases, Brønsted bases and Lewis bases. All definitions agree that bases are substances which react with acids as ... A ...

Acids are species with pH less than 7, while bases those with pH greater than 7. ... Using Arrhenius' definition, acids are those that produce the hydrogen ion when dissolved in water ( ) while bases produce the hydroxide ion ( ). These ions, when in water, act as charge carriers and can hence conduct electricity.

Acid–base reactions require both an acid and a base. ... For example, according to the Arrhenius definition, the reaction of B If inorganic, determine whether the compound is acidic.

Arrange the following substances in order of decreasing magnitude of lattice energy. Rank the compounds in order of decreasing m
True [87]

The lattice energy of the compounds is distributed in the following decreasing order of magnitude: MgO > CaO > NaF > KCl.

<h3>KCl or NaF, which has a higher lattice energy?</h3>

The lattice energy increases with increasing charge and decreasing ion size.(Refer to Coulomb's Law.)MgF2 > MgO.Following that, we can examine NaF and KCl (both of which have 1+ and 1-charges), as well as atomic radii.NaF will have a larger LE than KCl since Na is smaller then K and F was smaller than Cl.

<h3>MgO or CaO, which has a larger lattice energy?</h3>

MGO is more difficult than CaO, hence.This is because "Mg" (two-plus) ions are smaller than "Ca" (two-plus) ions in size.MgO has higher lattice energy as a result.

How can you tell if a chemical equation is balanced
k0ka [10]

Answer:

A chemical equation is balanced when the number of each kind of atom is the same on both sides of the reaction.

Explanation:

    The law of conservation of matter (except in nuclear reactions) indicates that atoms can neither be created or destroyed.

    The number of atoms that are in the  reactants must be the same as the number of the atoms that are in the product.

    The number and types of molecules can (and will) change. The atoms that make up the molecules are rearranged but the number and kinds of atoms stay the same.
