Sodium explodes when it contacts water. If I have a compound that contains sodium, will it explode if it is exposed to water?

Answer:

Option D = No, when elements combine to form a new material, they have properties unique to the new materials.

Explanation:

When sodium contact with water it loses its one electron and thus gain positive charge. When there are more sodium atoms present and many atoms do this thus more positive ions are produced and these positive ions repeal each other at high speed and explosion occur.

But when it form compound with other material, it will not showed this behavior.

Example:

Consider the sodium chloride, when it dissolve in water sodium not showed explosion. In sodium chloride sodium already gives its electron to the chlorine and have stable electronic configuration. The sodium present in cationic form. When it dissolve, partial positive charge of water surrounds the Cl⁻ and partial negative charge of water surrounds the Na⁺ ion, ans sodium chloride gets dissolve into water without explosion.

Answer:

D.No, when elements combine to form a new material, they have properties unique to the new material

Explanation:

Sodium(Na) and all other group one element are usually very reactive when it get combine with an elements or compounds . The reactive nature is due to their ability to easily give out it single outer electron to an available negative ion.

compounds for example sodium chloride(Nacl), sodium tetraoxosulphate(vi)(Na2So4), having a sodium content have properties unique to the new compound . Sodium chloride as a compound which has a different texture, color and shape from sodium is due to it combined element(sodium and chlorine) which makes up it constituents.

Answer:

d and e - Sodium and antimony

Explanation:

The atomic numbers remain the same, while the mass numbers change (because neutrons are being added or taken away).

sodium has an atomic number of 19 and a mass number of 39 - in d, it has an atomic number of 19 but a mass number of 40. therefore, it is an isotope

antimony has an atomic number of 51 and a mass number of 121.60 - in e, it has an atomic number of 51, but a mass number of 123. therefore, it is an isotope

Hno3, a strong acid, is added to shift the ag2co3 equilibrium (equation 7.6) to the right. explain why the shift occurs.

Deffense [45]

Answer 1) When a strong acid like $HNO_{3}$ reacts with $Ag_{2} CO_{3}$ usually the equilibrium shifts to the right because

As per the Le chatelier's principle "if in any reaction, a dynamic equilibrium is disturbed by changing the any of the conditions, the position of equilibrium moves to counteract the change." So, in the given reaction when $HNO_{3}$ reacts with $Ag_{2} CO_{3}$ it generates carbon dioxide and water as a by product, if we are adding $HNO_{3}$ it will remove some of the $CO_{3}$ molecule from the reaction mixture, which then tends to shift the equilibrium towards right.

Answer 2) The same would be observed in this case, if we replace $HNO_{3}$ with HCl it will shift the equilibrium to the right as their will be generation of AgCl as the precipitate.

As per the definition of Le Chatelier's principle if we add reactants in the reaction the equilibrium will tend to move towards right, also if we replace the products or remove it then too it will shift the equilibrium towards right. So, in this reaction you are removing $Ag^{+}$ and $Cl^{-}$ ions from the solution.
