Answer:

Sodium is a silvery-white metal that reacts with chlorine gas, which is a yellow-greenish gas that is toxic. The  reaction gives off a lot of heat. After the reaction, which statement is true about the chemical properties of the product, sodium chloride?

Pure sodium reacts violently and sometimes explosively with water producing sodium hydroxide, hydrogen gas and heat

2Na(s) + 2H2O(l) → 2NaOH(aq) + H2(g)

Chlorine is a very poisonous yellow green gas with a sharp odour that was used in gas warfare during WW1

Sodium and chlorine reacts with each other, however, to produce one of the most familiar substance used in cooking and preservation industry today Sodium Chloride or Common salt or table salt in the irreversible equation;

2Na(s) + Cl2(g) → 2NaCl(s)

Explanation:

It is easy to see why this reaction takes place so readily sodium has one electron in its outermost valence shell while chlorine has seven electrons in its valence shell. when sodium atom transfers one electron to chlorine atom forming a sodium cation (Na+) and a chloride anion (Cl-) both ions have complete valence shells and are energetically more stable. the reaction is extremely exothermic, producing a bright yellow light and a great deal of heat and fumes of sodium chloride.

In a reaction observation of the reaction process you will see sodium flares up almost immediately upon reaction with water.

Alex777 [14]

45 m. If each student needs 750 mm of tubing, the teacher should order 45 m of tubing.

a) Find the <em>length in millimetres</em>

Length = 60 students x (750 mm tubing/1 student) = 45 000 mm tubing

b) Convert <em>millimetres to metres </em>

Length = 45 000 mm tubing x (1 m tubing/1000 mm tubing) = 45 m tubing

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

In one mole of glucose 38 ATP energy is stored this accounts for only 40 per-cent of the total energy in glucose.

Explanation:

In standard conditions, during the cellular respiration 1 mole of Glucose in the presence of oxygen produces 36 or 38 ATPs. This accounts for only 40% of the total energy as the remaining 60 per-cent of the energy is dissipated as heat.

I mole of glucose enters the glycolysis step of aerobic cellular respiration which after oxidative phosphorylation and Electron transport chain would give 38 ATP molecules.

It can be said that only 38.3% of energy is put in ATP molecules.
