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.

What is the biological significance of the temperature at which the amylase catalyzed reaction
ipn [44]

Answer:

The biological significance is that it is the normal human body temperature and also the optimum temperature of the enzyme.

Explanation:

  • Enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up the rate of chemical reactions.
  • Enzymes catalyze specific reactions by working on a specific substrate to convert it into a product.
  • The rate of enzyme activity depends on several factors which include pH, temperature, substrate concentration, and enzyme concentration among others.
  • Enzymes work best at a specific pH and temperature known as optimum pH and optimum temperature respectively.
  • In this case, enzyme amylase works best at a temperature of 37° C which is equivalent to the normal human body temperature.

Suppose you find a rock that contains some potassium-40 (half-life of 1.3 billion years). you measure the amount and determine t
Alborosie
Equation for Half life :
A = a(0.5)^(t/h)
A is current amount, "a" is initial amount, h is halflife, t is time

5 = 40(0.5)^(t/1.3x10^9)
5/40 = (0.5)^(t/1.3x10^9)
take the log of both sides , power rule
Log(5/40) = (t/1.3x10^9) * Log(0.5)
(1.3x10^9) * Log(5/40) / Log(0.5) = t
3.9x10^9 years = t

And if you think about what a half life is, the time it take for the amount to reduce to half.
40/2 = 20
20/2 = 10
10/2 = 5
It went through 3 half-lifes
3 * 1.3x10^9 = 3.9x10^9 years

What kinds of elements form an ionic bond?
Vanyuwa [196]
Ionic bonds usually occur between metal and nonmetal ions. For example, sodium (Na), a metal, and chloride (Cl), a nonmetal, form an ionic bond to make NaCl. In a covalent bond, the atoms bond by sharing electrons. Covalent bonds usually occur between nonmetals.
