explain why it is a common laboratory procedure to heat analytical reagents and store them in a dessicated atmosphere (a sealed

environment containing a dehumidifying agent) before use.

Explanation:

Most reagent forms are going to absorb water from the air; they're called "hygroscopic".  Water presence can have a drastic impact on the experiment being performed  For fact, it increases the reagent's molecular weight, meaning that anything involving a very specific molarity (the amount of molecules in the final solution) will not function properly.

Heating will help to eliminate water, although some chemicals don't react well to heat, so it shouldn't be used for all.  A dessicated environment is simply a means to  "dry."  That allows the reagent with little water in the air to attach with.

Table salt is a refined salt containing about 97 to 99% sodium Chloride iodized salt containing potassium iodide is widely avail
Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

Explanation:

Sodium chloride is ionic compound. It is formed by the transfer of electron from one atom to the atom of another element.  

Both bonded atoms have very large electronegativity difference. The atom with large electronegativity value accept the electron from other with smaller value of electronegativity.

The electronegativity of chlorine is 3.16 and for sodium is 0.93. There is large difference is present. That's why electron from sodium is transfer to the chlorine. Sodium becomes positive and chlorine becomes negative ion. Both atoms are bonded together electrostatic attraction occur between anion and cations.

Sodium atom have one valance electron by losing this one valance electron sodium atom get the complete octet. Chlorine atom has seven valance electrons and needed to lose seven valance electrons or to get one electron and thus complete the octet. It is very easy for chlorine atom to get one electrons instead of losing all seven electron. Thus when it react with sodium it gain the valance electron of sodium and form ionic compound.

That's why only one atom of  sodium combine with one atom chlorine.

<h2>Answer:  C) 1s²2s²2p⁶</h2>

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

A noble gas has 8 electrons between the p and s orbitals of the outer shell. Helium is the exception because it only has two electrons.

<h3>                       ∴  1s²2s²2p⁶ is the noble gas (neon)</h3>
