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.

Yuki888 [10]

C. (-2,-2) is the answer.

<u>Explanation:</u>

When we reflect a point (x, y) across the y-axis, after the reflection, the y-coordinate tends to be the same, however the x-coordinate is changed into its opposite sign.

Here U(2,-2) is reflected across the y-axis then,

the y-coordinate -2 remains the same and the x-coordinate is transformed into its opposite that is the sign of the x-coordinate will be changed as -2.

So the new coordinates of U after reflection will be (-2,-2).

Answer:

The correct answer is

B.

\Delta H=2(1072)+498 -4(799)

Explanation:

Enthalpy of reaction :

It is the amount of energy released/absorbed when one mole of the substance is formed from the reactant at a constant pressure.

The enthalpy of a reaction can be calculated using :

\Delta H=\Delta H_{reactants}-\Delta H_{products}

2CO+O_{2}\rightarrow 2CO_{2}

\Delta H_{reactants}=2(C\equiv O)+O=O

\Delta H_{reactants}=2(1072)+498

H_{products}=2(2\times C=O)

H_{products}=4\times 799

\Delta H=\Delta H_{reactants}-\Delta H_{products}

\Delta H=2(1072)+498 -4(799)

units = \frac{kJ}{mole}

Please note that :

The carbon monoxide , CO should be taken as C triple bond O. Not C=O .

So , the bond energy =1072 is used

\Delta H=2(1072)+498 -4(799)

Identify the correct coefficients to balance the redox reaction with the lowest possible integer coefficients.
Monica [59]

Answer:

\rm 3\; Ag^{1+} + 1\; Al \to 1\; Al^{3+} + 3\; Ag.

Explanation:

Electrons are conserved in a chemical equation.

The superscript of \rm Ag^{1+} indicates that each of these ions carries a charge of +1. That corresponds to the shortage of one electron for each \rm Ag^{+} ion.

Similarly, the superscript +3 on each \rm Al^{3+} ion indicates a shortage of three electrons per such ion.

Assume that the coefficient of \rm Ag^{+} (among the reactants) is x, and that the coefficient of \rm Al^{3+} (among the reactants) is y.

\rm \mathnormal{x}\; Ag^{1+} + ?\; Al \to \mathnormal{y}\; Al^{3+} + ?\; Ag.

There would thus be x silver (\rm Ag) atoms and y aluminum (\rm Al) atoms on either side of the equation. Hence, the coefficient for \rm Al\! and \rm Ag\! would be y\! and x\!, respectively.

\rm \mathnormal{x}\; Ag^{1+} + \mathnormal{y}\; Al \to \mathnormal{y}\; Al^{3+} + \mathnormal{x}\; Ag.

The x \rm Ag^{1+} ions on the left-hand side of the equation would correspond to the shortage of x electrons. On the other hand, the y Al^{3+} ions on the right-hand side of this equation would correspond to the shortage of 3\, y electrons.

Just like atoms, electrons are also conserved in a chemical reaction. Therefore, if the left-hand side has a shortage of x electrons, the right-hand side should also be x\! electrons short of being neutral. On the other hand, it is already shown that the right-hand side would have a shortage of 3\, y electrons. These two expressions should have the same value. Therefore, x = 3\, y.

The smallest integer x and y that could satisfy this relation are x = 3 and y = 1. The equation becomes:

\rm 3\; Ag^{1+} + 1\; Al \to 1\; Al^{3+} + 3\; Ag.

What is the wavelength of the matter wave associated with an electron (me= 9.1 x 10-31 kg) moving with a speed of 2.5 x 107 m/s?
Novay_Z [31]
Lambda = h\ Mv
lambda = 6.624 x 10^-34 / 9.1 x 10^-31 x 2.5 x 10^7
lambda = 2.9 x 10^-11 is your wavelength

If heat is supplied to the stillpot too rapidly, the ability to separate two liquids by fractional distillation may be drastical
hram777 [196]

Answer: The boiling points of the two liquids are quickly exceeded

Explanation:

Fractional distillation is a method of separating a mixture of liquids where each has different boiling points.

To therefore obtain individual fractions, temperature rise of the mixture must be gradual, otherwise the boiling points of the two liquids will be quickly exceeded making collection of each fraction impossible.
