<span>Salt is the product formed by a reaction in which the hydrogen atoms of an acid are replaced by the atoms of a metal. The salt is formed as a result of the neutralization of the acid by base, that is the metal or positive ion replace the hydrogen ion in the acid. For instance: NaO + H2SO4 = NaSO4 + H2O. In this example, Na [sodium] has replaced the hydrogen in H2SO4, thereby forming the salt NaSO4.</span>
<span><span>When you write down the electronic configuration of bromine and sodium, you get this
Na:
Br: </span></span>
<span><span />So here we the know the valence electrons for each;</span>
<span><span>Na: (2e)
Br: (7e, you don't count for the d orbitals)
Then, once you know this, you can deduce how many bonds each can do and you discover that bromine can do one bond since he has one electron missing in his p orbital, but that weirdly, since the s orbital of sodium is full and thus, should not make any bond.
However, it is possible for sodium to come in an excited state in wich he will have sent one of its electrons on an higher shell to have this valence configuration:</span></span>

</span>where here now it has two lonely valence electrons, one on the s and the other on the p, so that it can do a total of two bonds.</span><span>That's why bromine and sodium can form </span>

Answer:
The entropy change for a real, irreversible process is equal to <u>zero.</u>
The correct option is<u> 'c'.</u>
Explanation:
<u>Lets look around all the given options -:</u>
(a) the entropy change for a theoretical reversible process with the same initial and final states , since the entropy change is equal and opposite in reversible process , thus this option in not correct.
(b) equal to the entropy change for the same process performed reversibly ONLY if the process can be reversed at all. Since , the change is same as well as opposite too . Therefore , this statement is also not true .
(c) zero. This option is true because We generate more entropy in an irreversible process. Because no heat moves into or out of the surroundings during the procedure, the entropy change of the surroundings is zero.
(d) impossible to tell. This option is invalid , thus incorrect .
<u>Hence , the correct option is 'c' that is zero.</u>
Answer: 1.
increases.
Explanation:
Any change in the equilibrium is studied on the basis of Le-Chatelier's principle.This principle states that if there is any change in the variables of the reaction, the equilibrium will shift in the direction to minimize the effect.
For the given equation:

If the concentration of
is increased , according to the Le-Chatlier's principle, the reaction has to shift to right or forward direction. In order to do that the concentration of products has to increase.
Thus the concentration of
increases.
