How many atoms are in a sample of 175 grams of sodium (Na)? The answer needs to be a x 10^b

ValentinkaMS [17]

Atomic mass Sodium ( Na ) = 22.98 u.m.a

22.98 g ----------------- 6.02x10²³ atoms
175 g ------------------- ?? atoms

175 x ( 6.02x10²³) / 22.98 =

4.58x10²⁴ atoms of Na

Why are non-metals dull in appearance as solids?

Inessa [10]

Metalloids are metallic-looking brittle solids that are either semiconductors or exist in semiconducting forms, and have amphoteric or weakly acidic oxides. Typical nonmetals have a dull, coloured or colourless appearance; are brittle when solid; are poor conductors of heat and electricity; and have acidic oxides.

The reaction between carbon tetrachloride, CCl4, and water, H2O, to form carbon dioxide, CO2, and hydrogen chloride, HCl, has a

xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

High activation energy is the reason behind unsuccessful reaction.

Explanation:

There are two types of reaction: (1) thermodynamically controlled reaction and (2) kinetically controlled reaction.

Thermodynamically controlled reaction are associated with change in enthalpy during reaction. More negative the enthalpy change, more favored will be the reaction.

Kinetically controlled reaction are associated with activation energy of a reaction. The lower the activation energy value, the more rapid will be the reaction.

Here, reaction between $CCl_{4}$ and $H_{2}O$ is thermodynamically favored due to negative enthalpy change but the high activation energy does not allow the reaction to take place by simple mixing.
