Answer:

Q1. D) A single replacement reaction takes place because sodium is more reactive than hydrogen.

Explanation: $2Na+2H_2O\rightarrow 2NaOH+H_2$ Sodium metal reacts with water to givesodium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. A single replacement reaction takes place because sodium is more reactive than hydrogen.

Sodium easily lose electrons than hydrogen and get oxidized to $Na^+$ and $H^+$ get reduced to give $H_2$ .

Q2. B) It is a single replacement reaction, and the cations in the two ionic compounds are different.

Explanation: $3Na+AlCl_3\rightarrow 3NaCl+Al$ where Sodium is a metal and $AlCl_3$ is an ionic compound. Na being more reactive than Al, displaces it from its salt solution.

Q3. D) $Zn+H_2SO_4\rightarrow ZnSO_4+H_2$

Explanation: A single replacement reaction is one in which a more reactive element displaces a less reactive element from its salt solution.Thus zinc can easily lose electrons as compared to hydrogen and result in the formation of zinc sulfate and hydrogen.

Q4. False

$Zn+CaCl_2\rightarrow$ no reaction

Explanation: As zinc lies lower in reactivity series, it is less reactive than calcium. It will not be able to displace calcium from its salt and hence no reaction occur. Thus the given statement is false.

Q5. False

Explanation: A double displacement reaction is one in which exchange of ions take place. Thus an element replaces another element and not same element.

A single replacement reaction is one in which a more reactive element displaces a less reactive element from its salt solution. Thus one element should be different from another element.

Q6. A) $Na_3PO_4+3KOH\rightarrow 3NaOH+K_3PO_4$ , because K retains the same charge throughout the reaction

Explanation: A balanced chemical reaction is one in which the number of atoms on both sides of a chemical equation are same. Also K has an oxidation state or charge of +1 in $KOH$ as well as $K_3PO_4$

In part A, when you added water to the sodium acetate in the flask, some of the chemical dissolved into the water. Would you cal

viktelen [127]

Answer: The solution is a SATURATED solution.

Explanation:

Although most substances are soluble in water, some are more soluble than others,that is , their solubilities differ. SOLUBILITY is a means of comparing the extent to which different solutes can dissolve in a particular solvent at a definite temperature.

From the question above, when water was added to the sodium acetate in the flask, SOME of the chemical dissolved into the water, meaning that some remained undissolved. This is because a given volume of water can only dissolve a certain amount of chemical in it at room temperature. If more chemical is added to such a solution, the chemical will remain undissolved. Such a chemical solution is said to be a SATURATED SOLUTION.

A saturated solution of a solute at a particular temperature is on which contains as much solute as it can dissolve at that temperature in the presence of undissolved solute particles.

Unsaturated solution is a type of solution that dissolves all its solutes with no presence of undissolved solute.

Supersaturated solution is one which contains more of the solute than it can normally hold at that temperature. It is an unstable solution which crystallizes out when disturbed.

What is the predominant intermolecular force in the liquid state of each of these compounds: ammonia (NH3), methane (CH4), and n

MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

The predominant intermolecular force in the liquid state of each of these compounds:

ammonia (NH3)

methane (CH4)

and nitrogen trifluoride (NF3)

Explanation:

The types of intermolecular forces:

1.Hydrogen bonding: It is a weak electrostatic force of attraction that exists between the hydrogen atom and a highly electronegative atom like N,O,F.

2.Dipole-dipole interactions: They exist between the oppositely charged dipoles in a polar covalent molecule.

3. London dispersion forces exist between all the atoms and molecules.

NH3 ammonia consists of intermolecular H-bonding.

Methane has London dispersion forces.

Because both carbon and hydrogen has almost similar electronegativity values.

NF3 has dipole-dipole interactions due to the electronegativity variations between nitrogen and fluorine.

Based on the three formulas shown, use one of them to solve for the purple yellow and red box and explain how you did it.

zysi [14]

P = 11.133 atm (purple)

T = -236.733 °C(yellow)

n = 0.174 mol(red)

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

Some of the laws regarding gas, can apply to ideal gas (volume expansion does not occur when the gas is heated),:

Boyle's law at constant T, P = 1 / V
Charles's law, at constant P, V = T
Avogadro's law, at constant P and T, V = n

So that the three laws can be combined into a single gas equation, the ideal gas equation

In general, the gas equation can be written

$\large {\boxed {\bold {PV = nRT}}}$

where

P = pressure, atm

V = volume, liter

n = number of moles

R = gas constant = 0.08206 L.atm / mol K

T = temperature, Kelvin

To choose the formula used, we refer to the data provided

Because the data provided are temperature, pressure, volume and moles, than we use the formula PV = nRT

Purple box

T= 10 +273.15 = 373.15 K

V=5.5 L

n=2 mol

$\tt P=\dfrac{nRT}{V}\\\\P=\dfrac{2\times 0.08205\times 373.15}{5.5}\\\\P=11.133~atm$

Yellow box

V=8.3 L

P=1.8 atm

n=5 mol

$\tt T=\dfrac{PV}{nR}\\\\T=\dfrac{1.8\times 8.3}{5\times 0.08205}\\\\T=36.42~K=-236.733^oC$

Red box

T = 12 + 273.15 = 285.15 K

V=3.4 L

P=1.2 atm

$\tt n=\dfrac{PV}{RT}\\\\n=\dfrac{1.2\times 3.4}{0.08205\times 285.15}\\\\n=0.174~mol$
