Al2O3 has a higher melting point than Na2O. This is because the ionic bond between Al3+ ions and O2- ions is stronger than that between Na+ and O2-. The charge on the Al3+ ion is larger than that of the Na+ ion
Answer: Hydrogen gas will be given off
Explanation:
Whenever a metal reacts with an acid, a salt of the metal is formed and hydrogen gas is given off.
For instance: The reaction of Zinc metal on Hydrochloric acid.
Zn(s) + 2HCl(aq) ---> ZnCl2(aq) + H2(g)
From the equation provided, hydrogen gas is given off as a by-product
Answer:
CO(g) + H2(g) + H2O(g) ==> CO2(g) + 2H2(g)
Explanation:
In the industry, hydrogen is prepared from water and hydrocarbons. Water gas being the major method of preparation of hydrogen industrially.
The water-gas reaction is an industrial process in which steam is passed over red-hot coke giving a gaseous mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen:
C + H2O(g) → CO + H2.
The mixture of CO and H2 is Futher passed through steam according to the equation:
CO(g) + H2(g) + H2O(g) ==> CO2(g) + 2H2(g) to give hydrogen and carbon dioxide.
An electric current can be carried through a metal by the free flow of the shared electrons.
