Remember we are just talking about proposals, not actual evidence. So it would be Democritus.

An unknown amount of sodium azide (NaN3) reacts and produces 0.033 moles of nitrogen gas. What mass of sodium metal is produced

Monica [59]

Answer:

Mass of sodium metal is 130.87 gram

Explanation:

The complete reaction is

2 NaN3 --> 2 Na + 3 N2

We know that PV = nRT

n = $\frac{PV}{RT}$

On substituting the given values, we get

$n = \frac{\frac{99707}{101325}*75 }{0.082 *(273.15 +15)} \\n = 3.02$ moles of N2

Sodium azide's molar mass

3.02 *(2/3) = 2.013 moles

Mass = 2.03 * 65.01 = 130.87 gram

At 19.9 degrees Celsius, we dissolve a salt crystal.

belka [17]

Answer:

The red dot represents the melting point of the element, which as stated is approximately 19.9 degrees Celsius and how long it took for the heat to properly completely dissolve it.

The question kind of answers itself however, is there a way to re-word it or is there a different answer you're looking for?

The black, granular material that fills a dry cell in a common flashlight (between the carbon rod and the zinc shell) is mangane

mestny [16]

Answer: c. +4

Explanation:

For formation of a neutral ionic compound, the charges on cation and anion must be balanced. The cation is formed by loss of electrons by metals and anions are formed by gain of electrons by non metals.

$Mn:25:1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^23d^{5}$

$Mn^{4+}:21:1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^63d^1$

$O:8:1s^22s^22p^4$

$O^{2-}:10:1s^22s^22p^6$

Here manganese is having an oxidation state of +4 called as cation and oxygen forms an anion with oxidation state of -2. Thus they combine and their oxidation states are exchanged to give $Mn_2O_4$ which written in simplest whole number ratios to give neutral $MnO_2$
