Roxanne was asked by her teacher to explain why sodium ions (Na) and chlorine ions (CI) combine into sodium chloride (NaCl).

DedPeter [7]

Answer:

Roxanne said it was because chlorine is highly electronegative and sodium has a low ionization energy and that the ions Na and cr both have full electron shells.

Describe the process of making a sandwich as if it were a chemical reaction with reactants and products. Describe how molar rati

sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

The content that follows is the substance of lecture 14. In this lecture we cover the use of balanced chemical equations to make mole and mass predictions in reaction. Reaction stoichiometry is a fancy way of describing mole relations in a reaction. When we read a balanced equation we relate every compound in the reaction to the others by means of the mole coefficients in the reaction. For example: HCl + NaOH → NaCl + H2O This equation is all 1:1 relationships, 1 mole of NaCl is made for every 1 mole of HCl or NaOH etc. In a previous lecture I introduced the following analogy: What can we do with a balanced equation? A chemical reaction equation is essentially a table of conversion factors that we can use to predict amounts of products that can be made, reactants needed to make a specific amount of product or exact amounts of reactants needed to completely consume another reactant (eg. acid and base neutralization). While the use of the stoichiometry (fancy words for mole relationships in a reaction equation) may seem difficult, it really isn't. Let's use an example that you all can understand first: 1 slice bologna + 2 slices of bread → 1 Sandwich If I asked you how many sandwiches you could make with 12 slices of bread, you would immediately say 6, right? How did you know this? Well, obviously based on the equation, you make 1 sandwich for every 2 slices of bread you have.12 slices bread x 1 sandwich/2 slices bread = 6 sandwiches If I asked you how many slices of bologna and bread you need to create 10 sandwiches, you would immediately say 10 slices of bologna and 20 slices of bread, right? Again the relationship given in the equation tells you how much is needed. 10 sandwiches x 1 slice bologna/1 sandwich = 10 slices bologna and 10 sandwiches x 2 slices bread/1 sandwich = 20 slices bread Finally if I asked you how many sandwiches you could make with 5 slices of bologna and 8 slices of bread? Which of the two sandwich makings would run out first and how much of the excess makings would be left over? Well, the answers are 4 sandwiches could be made and 1 slice of bologna is left over. 5 slices of bologna x 1 sandwich/1 slice bologna = 5 sandwiches 8 slices bread x 1 sandwich/2 slices bread = 4 sandwiches 8 slices bread x 1 slice bologna/2 slices bread = 4 slices of bologna used 5 slices bologna - 4 slices used = 1 slice left over

Describing Chemical Reactions<br> Project: Modeling the Conservation of Mass

Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

Step 1: Prepare for the project.

a) Read the entire Student Guide before you begin this project.

b) If anything is unclear, be sure to ask your teacher for assistance before you begin.

c) Gather the materials you will need to complete this project.

Step 2: Review the chemical reaction.

a) The chemical reaction that you will model is shown below. Calcium oxide (CaO) is a white

solid with a crystalline structure. It is made by heating limestone, coral, sea shells, or chalk,

which are composed mainly of calcium carbonate (CaCO3). During the heating process,

carbon dioxide (CO2) is released and calcium oxide (CaO) is produced. Commercially,

calcium oxide is called lime. One of the oldest uses of lime is to make mortar, a substance

used in construction to secure bricks, stones, and blocks together.

CaCO3  CaO + CO2

Step 3: Build a model of the reactant.

a) Use gumdrops and toothpicks to build a model of CaCO3.

b) Select one color of gumdrop for calcium, a second color for carbon, and a third color for

oxygen. Be sure to include a key of your chosen color scheme with your model.

c) Use the periodic table to help you determine the number of bonds each atom will form.

Step 4: Build models of the products.

a) Use gumdrops and toothpicks to build a model of CaO and a model of CO2.

b) Be sure to use the same colors of gumdrops for calcium, carbon, and oxygen as you did in

Step 3. Include a key of your chosen color scheme with your models.

c) Use the periodic table to help you determine the number of bonds each atom will form.

Step 5: Type one to two paragraphs that describe your models and explain the conservation of

mass in the chemical reaction.

a) Create a new blank document. Type your name at the top.

b) Type one to two paragraphs that describe your models and relate them to the law of

conservation of mass. Your document should:

i. identify the names of the reactants and products in the reaction.

ii. identify the number of molecules that make up the reactants and products.

iii. identify the type and number of atoms in each molecule of the reactants and products.

iv. explain what happens during the chemical reaction.

v. explain how mass is conserved during the chemical reaction.

Step 6: Evaluate your project using this checklist.

If you can check each criterion below, you are ready to submit your project.

 Did you create an accurate model of calcium carbonate (CaCO3)? Your model should include

the correct number of gumdrops for each element in calcium carbonate, consistent use of

colors for elements in calcium carbonate, and the correct number and placement of toothpicks

(bonds).

 Did you create an accurate model of calcium oxide (CaO)? Your model should include the

correct number of gumdrops for each element in calcium oxide, consistent use of colors for

elements in calcium oxide, and the correct number and placement of toothpicks (bonds).

 Did you create an accurate model of carbon dioxide (CO2)? Your model should include the

correct number of gumdrops for each element in carbon dioxide, consistent use of colors for

elements in carbon dioxide, and the correct number and placement of toothpicks (bonds).

Did you type one to two paragraphs that describe your models and relate them to the law of

conservation of mass? Your document should include the names of the reactants and

products in the reaction, the number of molecules that make up the reactants and products,

and the type and number of atoms in each molecule of the reactants and products. It should

also explain what happens during the chemical reaction and how mass is conserved during the reaction

Step 7: Revise and submit your project.

a) If you were unable to check off all of the requirements on the checklist, go back and make

b) When you have completed your project, submit your models to your teacher for grading.

c) Submit your document through the virtual classroom. Be sure that your name is on it.

Step 8: Clean up your workspace.

a) Clean up your workspace. Return any extra materials to your teacher and throw away any trash.

Enter the net ionic equation for the reaction of AgNO3(aq)

mixas84 [53]

Answer:

Explanation:

This is a typical double replacement or double decomposition reaction. In this kind of reaction, it involves the combination of ionic compounds which exchange their partners to form new compounds. Typical of these reaction is the formation of precipitates which are insoluble compounds.

The reaction equation is shown below:

AgNO₃ $(_{aq} )$ + K₂SO₄ $(_{aq} )$ → 2KNO₃ $(_{aq} )$ + AgSO₄ $(_{s}$ )

From the rule of solubility:

All trioxonitrate(v) salts are soluble
Salts of silver sulfates are slightly soluble. This will form the precipitate in the solution.

We can write the ionic equation as:

Ag⁺ $(_{aq} )$ + NO₃⁻ $(_{aq} )$ + 2K⁺ $(_{aq} )$ + SO₄²⁻ $(_{aq} )$ → AgSO₄ $(_{s} )$ + 2K⁺ + NO₃⁻ $(_{aq} )$

The spectator ions or non-reactive ions are those ions that appears on both sides of the equation. These ions are the potassium and trioxonitrate ions. We cancel them out to give the net ionic equation of the reaction:

Ag⁺ $(_{aq} )$ + SO₄²⁻ $(_{aq} )$ → AgSO₄ $(_{s} )$
