Answer:

-The stronger electrostatic forces of attraction between the oppositely charged ions causes the Sodium chloride to break apart until it completely dissolves in the water.

Explanation:

-Sodium Chloride has positively charged sodium ions, Na^+ and negatively charged chloride ions, Cl^-.

-Water on the other hand has positively charged Hydrogen ions,H^+ and negatively charged Oxygen ions, O^{2-} due to the difference in electroneganivity.

-When dissolved in water, the positively charged sodium ions will attract the partially negatively charged oxygen ions. The negatively charged chloride ions will be attracted to the positively charged hydrogen ions in the reaction as below:

NaCl+H_2O->NaOH+HCL\\\\Na^++Cl^-+H_2O->Na^++(OH)^-+H^++Cl^-

Write the balanced equation for a reaction between aqueous nitric acid (HNO3) and solid lithium metal (this is a single replacem
Lemur [1.5K]

<u>Answer:</u> The equation is given below.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Single replacement reactions are the chemical reactions in which more reactive metal displaces a less reactive metal from its chemical reaction. General equation for these reactions is given by the equation:

A+BC\rightarrow AC+B

Metal A is more reactive than metal B.

The reactivity of metals is judged with the help of reactivity series. In this series, the metals lying above are more reactive than the metals which lie below in the series.

For the reaction of solid lithium metal and nitric acid, the equation follows:

3Li(s)+4HNO_3(aq.)\rightarrow 3LiNO_3(aq.)+2H_2O(l)+NO(g)

This is a type of single replacement reaction because Lithium (more reactive metal) is replacing Hydrogen (less reactive metal) from the chemical reaction.

B and e

first we need to balance the NH3 hence first we do E and multiplying the coefficient by 2. that will leave us with N2+H2–>2NH3.
N2 and H2 is balanced and now all that is left to do is the balance H2 by 3 as there is 6H on RHS hence we need 6H on LHS

What can scientists measure to provide evidence that electrons can move from one energy level to another
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

recording the wavelength of light

Explanation:

When an appropriate measure of energy say in the form of light of a certain wavelength, is supplied, electrons have a tendency to absorb the energy and get excited to a higher energy level. Conversely, if an electron is already at a higher energy state it will emit energy in the form of light (or heat) and return to a more stable lower energy state.
