Answer:

Na+

Explanation:

The equation would be:

HCl (aq) + NaOH (aq) --> HOH (l) + NaCl (aq)

The equation is already balanced and the NaCl will disassociate in Na+ and Cl- and HCl will disassociate into H+ and Cl- and NaOH will disassociate into Na+ and OH-. Na+ is on both sides of the equation and stays the same, so Na+ will be the spectator ion.

Answer:

Na+

Explanation:

Spectator ions are ions that remain unchanged in a chemical reaction i.e. they exists in the same form in the reactant and the product side of the equation. Since these ions do not actually participate in the chemical reaction, they are termed as spectator ions.

The reaction between HCl and NaOH is a neutralization reaction yielding salt NaCl and water H2O.

HCl and NaOH are strong acids and bases respectively which completely dissociate into ions. NaCl is also an ionic compound which exists as Na+ and Cl-. The chemical reaction is:

HCl + NaOH \rightarrow NaCl + H2O

The total ionic equation is:

H^{+} + Cl^{-} + Na^{+} + OH^{-} \rightarrow Na^{+} + Cl^{-} + H2O

Based on the above equation: Na+ and Cl- ions remain the same on the reactant and product side. Hence, they are the spectator ions.

In 1869 he published a table of the elements organized by increasing atomic mass.

Mendeleev is called the "father of the modern periodic table

stated that if the atomic weight of an element caused it to be placed in the wrong group, then the weight must be wrong. (He corrected the atomic masses of Be, In, and U)

was so confident in his table that he used it to predict the physical properties of three elements that were yet unknown.

After the discovery of these unknown elements between 1874 and 1885, and the fact that Mendeleev's predictions for Sc, Ga, and Ge were amazingly close to the actual values, his table was generally accepted.

However, in spite of Mendeleev's great achievement, problems arose when new elements were discovered and more accurate atomic weights determined.

The correct answer is From different social and ethnic backgrounds.

Explanation:

The purpose of science studies is to gain an understanding of specific phenomena and use this in the benefit of the world or humanity. Moreover, science is guided by objective methods and these are applied all around the world. This feature allows scientists from all kinds of social and ethnic backgrounds to study the same phenomena and obtain similar results, which is essential for the progress of scientific knowledge. This is exemplified by two different labs in two different countries studying drug absorption because the results of these two studies can be analyzed together to understand drug absorption.

In this context, one factor that contributes to the progress of scientific knowledge is the effort of scientists "from different social and ethnic backgrounds".
