Answer:
Na⁺ tends to interact with the hardest base, which is water. Ag⁺ tends to interact with the softest (hardless) base, which is Cl⁻.
Explanation:
The HSAB concept says that hard acids are small ions with low electronegativity, while hard bases are electron donating groups with high electronegativity and low polarizability. The HSAB concept also says that hard acids will tend to react with hard bases. The opposite is valid for soft acids and soft bases.
Na⁺ is a hard acid
Ag ⁺ is a soft acid
Cl⁻ is a hard base
H₂O is a harder base than Cl⁻
Therefore, when in water, the Na⁺ tends to react with water, because it is a harder base than Cl⁻. However, as Ag⁺ is a soft acid, it will tend to stay with the less hard base, which is Cl⁻.
I don't know but I would pick b.2.covalent bonds
Answer:
Synthesis - 4
reversible- 2
exchange- 1
decomposition-3
Explanation:
In synthesis reaction two or more components combines to form a single product. example 2H2+O2⇒2H2O
In reversible reaction two reactants combine to form two products . The products then reacts and forms back the reactants. example N2 +3H2 ⇒2NH3
In exchange reaction there is an alternation of ions of reactants to form new products. AB+CD ⇒AC + BD
In decomposition reaction, molecules of a compound break down by the action of heat or light or catalyst. example CaCO3 ⇒CaO +CO2
Out of the options, the best indicator is a color change since it is the only one that can't really be blamed on a physical change. you will eventually notice that during qualitative labs and some quantitative labs, usually the thing that you are looking for is either color change or the production of a precipitate to indicate the presence of a chemical reaction
1. B
The positive charge in water is provided by hydrogen, and gold provides the same charge. However, gold is not more reactive than hydrogen so it can not replace it in the compound.
2. In order to balance the equation, you must sure there are equal moles of each element on the left and right side of the equation:
2C₂H₆ + 7O₂ → 4CO₂ + ₆H₂O
3. The number of moles of sodium atoms on the left of the equation must be equal to the number of moles of sodium atoms on the right, as per the law of conservation of mass. The answer is B.
4. C.
A synthesis reaction usually results from single displacement because some element or compound is produced in its pure form
5. B.
The gas being produced is being synthesized.
