Reaction of sodium with water
Sodium metal reacts rapidly with water to form a colourless solution of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and hydrogen gas (H2). The resulting solution is basic because of the dissolved hydroxide. The reaction is exothermic. During the reaction, the sodium metal may well become so hot that it catches fire and burns with a characteristic orange colour. The reaction is slower than that of potassium (immediately below sodium in the periodic table), but faster than that of lithium (immediately above sodium in the periodic table).
2Na(s) + 2H2O → 2NaOH(aq) + H2(g)
Answer:
Both the initial and final substances are composed of atoms because all matter is composed of atoms. According to the law of conservation of matter, matter is neither created nor destroyed, so we must have the same number and type of atoms after the chemical change as were present before the chemical change.
Explanation:
The atoms that make up your body were produced inside a star and have ... I read once that atoms get recycled so much through the planet that each of ... from William Shakespeare, but I do know this: All of us come from stars. ... If you have gold fillings in your teeth, those atoms came from a star explosion.
We will use the expression for freezing point depression ∆Tf
∆Tf = i Kf m
Since we know that the freezing point of water is 0 degree Celsius, temperature change ∆Tf is
∆Tf = 0C - (-3°C) = 3°C
and the van't Hoff Factor i is approximately equal to 2 since one molecule of KCl in aqueous solution will produce one K+ ion and one Cl- ion:
KCl → K+ + Cl-
Therefore, the molality m of the solution can be calculated as
3 = 2 * 1.86 * m
m = 3 / (2 * 1.86)
m = 0.80 molal
Answer:
A. Chipping ice to flakes
Explanation:
You can't reverse the ice becoming flakes. They will stay like that until they melt
Using a calculator:
(2.568 x 5.8)/4.186 = 3.5581460…
= 3.56 (3sf)
