A piece of sodium metal reacts completely with water as follows: 2Na(s) + 2H2O(l) ⟶ 2NaOH(aq) + H2(g) The hydrogen gas generated

is collected over water at 25.0°C. The volume of the gas is 246 mL measured at 1.00 atm. Calculate the number of grams of sodium used in the reaction. (Vapor pressure of water at 25°C = 0.0313 atm.)

Answer:

\large \boxed{\text{0.449 g}}

Explanation:

1. Gather all the information in one place

M_r:   22.99

           2Na + 2H₂O ⟶ 2NaOH + H₂

\, p_{\text{tot}} = \quad \text{1.00 atm}\\p_{\text{H2O}} = \text{0.0313 atm}

T = 25.0 °C

V = 246 mL

2. Moles of H₂

To find the moles of hydrogen, we can use the Ideal Gas Law:

pV = nRT

(a) Calculate the partial pressure of the hydrogen

p_{\text{tot}} = p_{\text{H2}} + p_{\text{H2O}}\\\text{1.00 atm} =p_{\text{H2}} +\text{0.0313 atm}\\p_{\text{H2}} = \text{0.9687 atm}

(b) Convert the volume to litres

V = 246 mL = 0.246 L

(c) Convert the temperature to kelvins

T = (25.0 + 273.15) K = 298.15 K

(d) Calculate the moles of hydrogen

\begin{array}{rcl}\text{0.9687 atm}\times \text{0.246 L} & = & n \times 0.082 06 \text{ L}\cdot\text{atm}\cdot\text{K}^{-1}\text{mol}^{-1} \times \text{298.15 K}\\0.2383 & = & 24.47n \text{ mol}^{-1}\\\\n & = & \dfrac{0.2383}{24.47\text{ mol}^{-1}}\\\\& = & 0.009740 \text{ mol}\\\end{array}

3. Moles of Na

The molar ratio is 2 mol Na: 1 mol H₂

\text{Moles of Na} =\text{0.009 740 mol H}_{2} \times \dfrac{\text{2 mol Na}}{\text{1 mol H}_{2}} = \text{0.019 48 mol Na}

4. Mass of Na

\text{Mass of Na} = \text{0.019 48 mol Na} \times \dfrac{\text{22.99 g Na}}{\text{1 mol Na}} = \text{0.449 g Na}\\\\\text{The mass of Na used was $\large \boxed{\textbf{0.449 g}}$}

(9) Which is true from the following ?
fredd [130]

Answer:

The correct answer is A and D.

Explanation:

Please I want brainliest.

Reason:

The size of the ions follows the order:

Negatively charged ion > Neutral atom >

Positively charged ion

This is because of the size of ions increases when the electrons are added to the outermost shell of an atom.

This happens due to the increase in

electron-electron repulsion.

Moreover, when the electrons are removed from an atom, then the affective nuclear charge that is experienced by the outermost electron increases.

Thus the size of the positively charged ion is least.

describe how the discoveries of scientist over time have contributed to our current understanding of atom
Olenka [21]

Answer:

In 1897, the British physicist J. J. Thomson (1856–1940) proved that atoms were not the most basic form of matter. He demonstrated that cathode rays could be deflected, or bent, by magnetic or electric fields, which indicated that cathode rays consist of charged particles (Figure  2.2.2 ). More important, by measuring the extent of the deflection of the cathode rays in magnetic or electric fields of various strengths, Thomson was able to calculate the mass-to-charge ratio of the particles. These particles were emitted by the negatively charged cathode and repelled by the negative terminal of an electric field. Because like charges repel each other and opposite charges attract, Thomson concluded that the particles had a net negative charge; these particles are now called electrons. Most relevant to the field of chemistry, Thomson found that the mass-to-charge ratio of cathode rays is independent of the nature of the metal electrodes or the gas, which suggested that electrons were fundamental components of all atoms.
