Explain why water and sodium oxide will have very different properties

Water and sodium oxide have different properties because of their nature as explained below.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Sodium oxide is a oxide of metallic sodium, while water is an oxide of hydrogen. So sodium oxide is a metallic oxide, while water is a non metallic oxide. Sodium oxide is a basic oxide, while water is neutral. As state of matter is concerned, sodium oxide is solid in normal room temperature, while water is liquid in normal room temperature. Water is a polar covalent molecule with partial charges on oxygen, but sodium oxide is an ionic molecule.

So all these factors contribute to very different properties of both sodium oxide and water.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

[RxN - Balanced] C₆H₁₂O₆ → 2C₂H₅OH + 2CO₂

[Given] 500. g C₆H₁₂O₆ (Glucose)

[Solve] moles C₂H₅OH (Ethanol)

<u>Step 2: Identify Conversions</u>

[RxN] 1 mol C₆H₁₂O₆ → 2 mol C₂H₅OH

[PT] Molar mass of C - 12.01 g/mol

[PT] Molar Mass of H - 1.01 g/mol

[PT] Molar Mass of O - 16.00 g/mol

Molar Mass of C₆H₁₂O₆ - 6(12.01) + 12(1.01) + 6(16.00) = 180.18 g/mol

<u>Step 3: Stoichiometry</u>

[DA] Set up conversion: $\displaystyle 500 \ g \ C_6H_{12}O_6(\frac{1 \ mol \ C_6H_{12}O_6}{180.18 \ g \ C_6H_{12}O_6})(\frac{2 \ mol \ C_2H_5OH}{1 \ mol \ C_6H_{12}O_6})$
[DA} Multiply/Divide [Cancel out units]: $\displaystyle 5.55001 \ mol \ C_2H_5OH$

<u>Step 4: Check</u>

<em>Follow sig fig rules and round. We are given 3 sig figs.</em>

5.55001 mol C₂H₅OH ≈ 5.55 mol C₂H₅OH

What is the role of meteorites in the formation of life?

CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

Meteorites are consensually considered to be involved in the origin of life on this Planet for several functions and at different levels: (i) as providers of impact energy during their passage through the atmosphere; (ii) as agents of geodynamics, intended both as starters of the Earth’s tectonics and as activators of local hydrothermal systems upon their fall; (iii) as sources of organic materials, at varying levels of limited complexity; and (iv) as catalysts.

HELP PLEASE (Solve this problem using the appropriate law). what is the volume of 0.382 moles of hydrogen gas at 1.50 atmosphere

kaheart [24]

Answer:

V = 6.17 L

Explanation:

Given data:

Volume = ?

Number of moles = 0.382 mol

Pressure = 1.50 atm

Temperature = 295 k

R = 0.0821 L. atm. /mol. k

Solution:

According to ideal gas equation:

PV= nRT

V = nRT/P

V = 0.382 mol × 0.0821 L. atm. /mol. k ×295 k / 1.50 atm

V = 9.252 L. atm. / 1.50 atm

V = 6.17 L
