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.

The Molar mass(M.w) in g/mol of 6.3 grams of an ideal gas that placed in 5.0 L tank at ST
BigorU [14]

Answer:

28 g/mol, N2

Explanation:

Given data:

Volume of gas = 5.0 L

Mass of gas = 6.3 g

Pressure = 1 atm

Temperature = 273 K

Molar mass of gas = ?

Solution:

We will calculate the density first.

d = mass/ volume

d = 6.3 g/ 5.0 L

d = 1.26 g/L

Molar mass:

d = PM/RT

M = dRT/P

M =  1.26 g/L× 0.0821 atm.L/mol.K × 273 K/ 1 atm

M = 28 g/mol

Molar mass of N₂ is 28 g/mol thus given gas is N₂.

Molecules can be either positively or negatively charged depending upon their elemental arrangement
Nuetrik [128]
They are positively or negatively charged based on their electrical configuration of electrons*
For example an electronic configuration of 2,8,3 would have a negative charge if +3 since it needs to lose 3 electrons to gain the electrical configuration of a noble gas
2,8,1 would have a charge of +1 for the same reason
2,8,6 would be -2 since it is easier to gain 2 electrons that lose 6 electrons

Hope this helped :))

The chemical equation, Cr + Fe(NO3)2 → Fe + Cr(NO3)3, is an example of which type of reaction?
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

Redox type

Explanation:

The reaction is:

2Cr +  3Fe(NO₃)₂ → 2Fe + 2Cr(NO₃)₃

2 moles of chromium can react to 3 moles of iron (II) nitrate in order to produce 2 moles of iron and 2 moles of chromium nitrate.

If we see oxidation state, we see that chromium changes from 0 to +3

Iron changed the oxidation state from +2 to 0

Remember that elements at ground state has 0, as oxidation state.

Iron is being reduced while chromium is oxidized. Then, the half reactions are:

Fe²⁺  +  2e⁻ ⇄  Fe    (Reduction)

Cr ⇄ Cr³⁺  +  3e⁻    (Oxidation)

When an element is being  reduced, while another is being oxidized, we are in prescence of a redox reaction.
