Answer:

  • Please, find the drawing in the picture attached.

Explanation:

A simple model or drawing of the structure of an atom may be performed showing the electrons on the different energy levels (shells), plus the nucleons (protons and neutrons).

Then, you need the information on:

  • number of protons (atomic number)
  • electron configuration
  • number of neutrons

The first step is  to find the atomic number of the atom. You find that information in the periodic table, where the elements are show with their chemical symbol.

The chemical symbol of sodium is Na. It is located in the group (colum) 1 and period (raw) 3. There you find that the atomic number is 11. Hence your drawing must show 11 protons.

Since the atom is neutral, the number of electrons is also 11. So, you must place the electrons in the following energy levels or shells:

Main energy level      shell   number of electrons

n = 1                              K         2 (this is the maximum in this level)

n= 2                              L          8 (this is the maximun in this level)

n= 3                              M         1 (the maximum in this level is 18)

Now that you have the number of protons and the location of the electrons, you must determine the number of neutrons.

In the periodict table you will also find the atomic mass of the elements. The atomic mass of sodium is 22.990 amu. That means that most sodium atoms have mass number (number of protons plus neutrons) 23. Some isotopes will have less neutrons, but you can draw your model using the most typical isotope with 23 nucleons. This means, that the number of neutrons is 23 nucleons - 11 protons = 12 neutrons.

In the following reaction, how many liters of oxygen produce 560 liters of
saw5 [17]

The balanced chemical reaction will be:

CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O

We are given the amount of carbon dioxide to produce from the reaction. This will be our starting point.

 

560 L CH4 ( 1 mol CH4/ 22.4 L CH4 ) (2 mol O2/ 1 mol CH4 ) ( 22.4 L O2 / 1 mol <span>O2</span><span>) = 1120 L O2</span>

Wine goes bad soon after opening because the ethanol (CH,CH,OH) in it reacts with oxygen gas (0.) from the air to form water (11
daser333 [38]

<u>Answer:</u> The mass of water produced is 1.8 grams

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}      .....(1)

Given mass of ethanol = 4.59 g

Molar mass of ethanol = 46.07 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Moles of ethanol}=\frac{4.59g}{46.07g/mol}=0.0996mol

The chemical equation for the reaction of ethanol with oxygen gas follows:

CH_3CH_2OH+O_2\rightarrow CH_3COOH+H_2O

By Stoichiometry of the reaction;

1 mole of ethanol produces 1 mole of water.

So, 0.0996 moles of ethanol will produce = \frac{1}{1}\times 0.0996=0.0996mol of water.

Now, calculating the mass of water from equation 1, we get:

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

Moles of water = 0.0996 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

0.0996mol=\frac{\text{Mass of water}}{18g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of water}=(0.0996mol\times 18g/mol)=1.8g

Hence, the mass of water produced is 1.8 grams
