Why does sodium give up an electron?

Chemistry
1 answer:
lidiya [134]3 years ago
7 0
Sodium (Na) has only one electron in its outer electron shell, as shown in Figure 1. Once again, gaining one electron is more energy efficient than losing seven. As a result, it appears to obtain an electron, resulting in an ion with 17 protons, 17 neutrons, and 18 electrons, and a net negative charge (–1).

Select the properly written and balanced equation for the following chemical reaction: Sodium metal and an aqueous solution of m
Setler [38]

Answer:2Na(s)+MgI_2 (aq)\rightarrow 2NaI(aq)+Mg(s)

Explanation: The chemical reaction is written by writing down the chemical formulas of the reactants on the left hand side and the chemical formulas of products on the right hand side separated by a right arrow.

This is a single displacement reaction in which a more reactive element displaces the less reactive element from its salt solution. Thus sodium is more reactive than Mg and thus displaces it from MgI_2.

2Na(s)+MgI_2 (aq)\rightarrow 2NaI(aq)+Mg(s)

The number of atoms of each element must be same on both sides of the reaction so as to follow the law of conservation of mass. Thus the equation is balanced.

ΔG o for the reaction H2(g) + I2(g) ⇌ 2HI(g) is 2.60 kJ/mol at 25°C. Calculate ΔG o , and predict the direction in which the rea
kondaur [170]

Answer:

The reaction is not spontaneous in the forward direction, but in the reverse direction.

Explanation:

<u>Step 1: </u>Data given

H2(g) + I2(g) ⇌ 2HI(g)     ΔG° = 2.60 kJ/mol

Temperature = 25°C = 25+273 = 298 Kelvin

The initial pressures are:

pH2 = 3.10 atm

pI2 = 1.5 atm

pHI 1.75 atm

<u>Step 2</u>: Calculate ΔG

ΔG = ΔG° + RTln Q  

with ΔG° = 2.60 kJ/mol

with R = 8.3145 J/K*mol

with T = 298 Kelvin

Q = the reaction quotient → has the same expression as equilibrium constant → in this case Kp = [p(HI)]²/ [p(H2)] [p(I2)]

with pH2 = 3.10 atm

pI2 = 1.5 atm

pHI 1.75 atm

Q = (3.10²)/(1.5*1.75)

Q = 3.661

ΔG = ΔG° + RTln Q  

ΔG = 2600 J/mol + 8.3145 J/K*mol * 298 K * ln(3.661)  

ΔG =5815.43 J/mol = 5.815 kJ/mol

To be spontaneous, ΔG should be <0.

ΔG >>0 so the reaction is not spontaneous in the forward direction, but in the reverse direction.

Scientist can use trees to look at climates of the past. How? What information can they gather and how do they gather it? Explai
andrezito [222]

Explanation:

Scientist use trees a whole lot to look at climate of the past by examining tree rings.

These are layers of cambium in each successive years formed. They have an annual growth pattern and are known as tree rings.

Tree rings can be used to decipher the age of a tree.

  • These three rings can be used to interpret climatic patterns.
  • During a wet climate, the tree rings are more robust and bigger.
  • In a dry climate, the rings are thinner.
  • These alternating patterns can be used to decipher the climatic signatures in a tree.
  • Sometimes, it is possible to evaluate some certain isotopes that are useful in climatic studies.
