Do you expect the compound Na4S to be a stable sulfur compound? Explain why or why not. Select the correct answer below: A. Yes,

because sulfur is significantly more electronegative than sodium, so it can ionize sodium. B. Yes, because sodium is significantly more electronegative than sulfur, so it can ionize sulfur. C. No, because sulfur does not typically form negative ions or oxidation states less than 2−. The binary compound formed by sulfur and sodium is Na2S. D. No, because elemental sulfur is not a strong enough oxidation agent to oxidize sodium.

Answer:

No, because sulfur does not typically form negative ions or oxidation states less than 2−. The binary compound formed by sulfur and sodium is Na2S

Explanation:

Sulphur is a member of group 16. The oxidation states expected for sulphur in group 16 are -1, -2, +1, +2,+3,+4,+5 or +6. The elements of group 16 usually form negative ions with oxidation number of -2. They do not typically form negative ions with oxidation state less than -2.

The implication of this is that we actually do not expect the existence of a compound in which sulphur forms an S^4- anion. In reality, such an anion does not exist. Rather a binary compound of sulphur and sodium will have the formula Na2S because it contains the S^2- anion.

Why is a homogeneous mixture not considered a pure substance?
stepladder [879]
The answer is "A. a pure substance can be separated by chemical means, while a mixture can be separated by physical means". A pure substance only has one type of substance, whereas a mixture has more than one. A pure substance therefore, can only be separated chemically, because it is not two things mixed together, whereas a mixture can be separated physically because there are multiple substances.

How does a catalyst influence a chemical reaction.
UNO [17]

Answer: C.It provides an alternative energy pathway for the reaction to proceed.

Explanation:

Activation energy is the extra energy that must be supplied to reactants in order to cross the energy barrier and thus convert to products.

A catalyst is a substance which increases the rate of a reaction by taking the reaction through a different path which involves lower activation energy and thus more molecules can cross the energy barrier and more molecules convert to products.

Thus catalyst speeds up the reaction and does not increase the total amount of product formed.

The catalyst itself does not take part in the chemical reaction and is regenerated as such at the end.
