Na₂O is an ionic compound. Na is in group 1 which means it has one electron in the outer shell. O is in group 6 so it has 6 electrons in the outer shell.
To become stable atoms need to either lose the electrons in the outer shell or gain electrons to gain a complete outer shell configuration. 
To become stable Na loses its outer electron and becomes positively charged. It only loses one electron, so net charge is +1. O to become stable gains 2 electrons to complete its outer shell and becomes negatively charged. since it gains 2 electrons, the net charge is -2. 
cation - Na⁺
anion - O²⁻
O gains 2 electrons but Na can give only one electron, therefore 2 Na⁺ ions are required. 
the compound can be written by exchanging the charges
  ions         Na⁺       O²⁻
charge       +1       -2
exchange   Na₂O
Correct answer is <span>Na has +1 charge and O has -2 charge</span>

Consider the oxidation of sodium metal to sodium oxide described by the balanced equation:
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

1116 g.

Explanation:

The balanced equation for the reaction is given below:

4Na + O₂ —> 2Na₂O

From the balanced equation above,

1 mole of O₂ reacted to produce 2 moles of Na₂O.

Next, we shall determine the theoretical yield of Na₂O. This can be obtained as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

1 mole of O₂ reacted to produce 2 moles of Na₂O.

Therefore, 9 moles of O₂ will react to produce = 9 × 2 = 18 moles of Na₂O.

Finally, we shall determine the mass in 18 moles of Na₂O. This can be obtained as follow:

Mole of Na₂O = 18 moles

Molar mass of Na₂O = (23×2) + 16

= 46 + 16

= 62 g/mol

Mass of Na₂O =?

Mass = mole × molar mass

Mass of Na₂O = 18 × 62

Mass of Na₂O = 1116 g

Thus, the theoretical yield of Na₂O is 1116 g.

An unknown compound has a percent composition of 52.10% potassium, 15.8% carbon, and 32.1% oxygen. The molar mass of the compoun
lianna [129]
To determine the empirical formula and the molecular formula of the compound, we assume a basis of the compound of 100 g. We do as follows:

       Mass              Moles                     
K    52.10     52.10/39.10 = 1.33         1.33/1.32 ≈ 1
C    15.8       15.8/12         = 1.32         1.32/1.32 ≈ 1
O     32.1      32.1 / 16       =  2.01        2.01/1.32 ≈ 1.5

The empirical formula would most likely be KCO.
The molecular formula would be K2C2O3.

How much energy is released when 0.40 mol C6H6(g) completely reacts with oxygen?
Vsevolod [243]
 <span>This question asksyou to apply Hess's law. 
You have to look for how to add up all the reaction so that you get the net equation as the combustion for benzene. The net reaction should look something like C6H6(l)+ O2 (g)-->CO2(g) +H2O(l). So, you need to add up the reaction in a way so that you can cancel H2 and C. 
multiply 2 H2(g) + O2 (g) --> 2H2O(l) delta H= -572 kJ by 3 
multiply C(s) + O2(g) --> CO2(g) delta H= -394 kJ by 12 
multiply 6C(s) + 3 H2(g) --> C6H6(l) delta H= +49 kJ by 2 after reversing the equation. 
Then, 
6 H2(g) + 3O2 (g) --> 6H2O(l) delta H= -1716 kJ 
12C(s) + 12O2(g) --> 12CO2(g) delta H= -4728 kJ 
2C6H6(l) --> 12 C(s) + 6 H2(g) delta H= - 98 kJ 
______________________________________... 
2C6H6(l) + 16O2 (g)-->12CO2(g) + 6H2O(l) delta H= - 6542 kJ 
I hope this helps and my answer is right.</span>
