Explain why water and sodium oxide will have very different properties

Chemistry
1 answer:
Softa [21]3 years ago
4 0

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.

Lithium, sodium and potassium are all in group 1 of the periodic table. Which of these has the lowest boiling point?
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

Potassium

Explanation:

In group one of the periodic table both the melting and the boiling points usually decrease down the group.

Now, down the group, it's lithium that comes first, then sodium, then potassium.

Thus, among the 3, potassium is furthermost down the group by virtue of the factor it has the highest atomic number.

Therefore, we can say that potassium has the lowest boiling point among the 3.

A purified protein has a molecular mass of 360 kDa when measured by size exclusion chromatography. When analyzed by gel electrop
Dimas [21]

Answer:

A protein has four subunits whose molecular masses are 140, 80, and 60 kDa.

A disulfide bond links the two 80 kDa subunits (possibly identical).

Explanation:

Given that:

A protein has four subunits whose molecular masses are 140, 80, and 60 kDa.

A disulfide bond links the two 80 kDa subunits (possibly identical).

As a result of SDS and dithiothreitol analysis treatment, the molecular masses can not be 360 in total. They are 280, which implies that they are in short of 80 kDa. This means that there are possibilities that two groups with a molecular mass of 80 kDa which are joined by a disulfide bond.

The presence of SDS and dithiothreitol acts as a reducing agent, and they can break disulfide bonds whose pH is greater than 7, i.e. those in basic condition.

How many hours will it take for the concentration of methyl isonitrile to drop to 14.0 %% of its initial value?
tiny-mole [99]

This is an incomplete question, here is a complete question.

The rearrangement of methyl isonitrile (CH₃NC) to acetonitrile (CH₃NC) is a first-order reaction and has a rate constant of 5.11 × 10⁻⁵ s⁻¹ at 472 K. If the initial concentration of CH₃NC is 3.00 × 10⁻² M :

How many hours will it take for the concentration of methyl isonitrile to drop to 14.0 % of its initial value?

Answer : The time taken will be, 10.7 hours

Explanation :

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{a}{a-x}

where,

k = rate constant  = 5.11\times 10^{-5}s^{-1}

t = time passed by the sample  = ?

a = let initial amount of the reactant  = 100

a - x = amount left after decay process = 14 % of 100 = 14

Now put all the given values in above equation, we get

t=\frac{2.303}{5.11\times 10^{-5}}\log\frac{100}{14}

t=38482.72s=\frac{38482.72}{3600}=10.7hr

Therefore, the time taken will be, 10.7 hours
