2Na+Cl-(l) → 2Na(s)+Cl2(g)
Sodium ions gain electrons (reduction) to form sodium atoms. Chloride ions lose electrons (oxidation) to form chlorine atoms.
The chlorine atoms combine to form molecules of chlorine gas.

Witch two chemists organized the elements based on properties suck as how the elements reacts or whether they are solid or liqui

Korvikt [17]

Answer:

Antoine Lavoisier and Johann Wolfang Döbereiner organized the elements based on properties such as how the elements reacts or whether they are solid or liquid.

Explanation:

The periodic table of the elements as we have it today was developed as a result of the work of several notable centuries who lived centuries apart, all of who made notable contributions to development of the modern periodic table in use today.

In 1789, Antoine Lavoisier, a French Chemist provided a definition of elemets which he defined as a substance whose smallest units cannot be broken down into a simpler substance. He further grouped the elements into two as metals and nonmetals.

In 1829, German physicist Johann Wolfang Döbereiner arranged elements in groups of three in increasing order of atomic weight and called them triads. His arrangement owasf elements into triads was based on his observation of similarities in physical and chemical properties of certain elements.

John Newlands, a British Chemist was the first to arrange the elements into a periodic table with increasing order of atomic masses.

In 1869, Russian chemist Dmitri Mendeleev developed a periodic table which provided a framework the modern periodic table. He arranged the elements according to their atomic weight, leaving gaps for elements that were yet to be discovered.

The modern periodic table arranges elements based on increasing atomic number.

Which statement best describes a physical change?

Inga [223]

Answer: 3 Changes can occur to physical properties of a substance, but the chemical composition of the substance remains the same

Explanation:

Physical change mainly physical properties of a substance while the chemical changes remain unchanged. Once there is a change to the chemistry of the substance, this would be classified as a chemical change.

PLS HELP WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST

boyakko [2]

Answer:

The IUPAC structure only shows bond pairs and lone pairs. In the flouromethane structure above, there is only one bond pair and three lone pairs of electrons. Therefore there is one electron remaining, but since it doesn't not make up a pair, it is ignored in the structure but theoretically it is present.

14. 60. g of NaOH is dissolved in enough distilled water to make 300 mL of a stock solution. What volumes of this solution and d

zepelin [54]

The question is incomplete, the complete question is attached below.

Answer : The volumes of stock solution and distilled water will be, 20 mL and 80 mL respectively.

Explanation : Given,

Mass of NaOH = 60 g

Volume of stock solution = 300 mL

Molar mass of NaOH = 40 g/mol

First we have to calculate the molarity of stock solution.

$\text{Molarity}=\frac{\text{Mass of }NaOH\times 1000}{\text{Molar mass of }NaOH\times \text{Volume of solution (in mL)}}$

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get:

$\text{Molarity}=\frac{60g\times 1000}{40g/mole\times 300mL}=5mole/L=5M$

Now we have to determine the volume of stock solution and distilled water mixed.

Formula used :

$M_1V_1=M_2V_2$

where,

$M_1\text{ and }V_1$ are the molarity and volume of stock solution.

$M_2\text{ and }V_2$ are the molarity and volume of diluted solution.

From data (A) :

$M_1=5M\\V_1=20mL\\M_2=1M\\V_2=?$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$5M\times 20mL=1M\times V_2\\\\V_2=100mL$

Volume of stock solution = 20 mL

Volume of distilled water = 100 mL - 20 mL = 80 mL

From data (B) :

$M_1=5M\\V_1=20mL\\M_2=1M\\V_2=?$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$5M\times 20mL=1M\times V_2\\\\V_2=100mL$

Volume of stock solution = 20 mL

Volume of distilled water = 100 mL - 20 mL = 80 mL

From data (C) :

$M_1=5M\\V_1=60mL\\M_2=1M\\V_2=?$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$5M\times 60mL=1M\times V_2\\\\V_2=300mL$

Volume of stock solution = 60 mL

Volume of distilled water = 300 mL - 60 mL = 240 mL

From data (D) :

$M_1=5M\\V_1=20mL\\M_2=1M\\V_2=?$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$5M\times 60mL=1M\times V_2\\\\V_2=300mL$

Volume of stock solution = 60 mL

Volume of distilled water = 300 mL - 60 mL = 240 mL

From this we conclude that, when 20 mL stock solution and 80 mL distilled water mixed then it will result in a solution that is approximately 1 M NaOH.

Hence, the volumes of stock solution and distilled water will be, 20 mL and 80 mL respectively.
