Why does sodium give up an electron?

1 answer:

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).

At a certain temperature, the solubility of n2 gas in water at 3.08 atm is 72.5 mg of n2 gas/100 g water . calculate the solubil

8090 [49]

According to Henry's law, solubility of solution is directly proportional to partial pressure thus,

$\frac{S_{1}}{P_{1}}=\frac{S_{2}}{P_{2}}$

Solubility at pressure 3.08 atm is 72.5/100, solubility at pressure 8 atm should be calculated.

Putting the values in equation:

$\frac{0.725}{3.08}=\frac{S_{2}}{8}$

On rearranging,

$S_{2}=\frac{0.725\times 8}{3.08}=1.88$

Therefore, solubility will be 1.88 mg of $N_{2}$ gas in 1 g of water or, 188 mg of tex]N_{2}[/tex] gas in 100 g of water.

Consider the reaction: 2 SO2(g) + O2(g) <----> 2 SO3. If, at equilibrium at a certain temperature, [SO2] = 1.50 M, [O2] =

vlada-n [284]

Answer:

5.79

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Concentration of SO2, [SO2] = 1.50 M

Concentration of O2, [O2] = 0.120 M

Concentration of SO3, [SO3] = 1.25 M

Equilibrium constant, (K) =..?

The balanced equation for the reaction is given below:

2SO2(g) + O2(g) <==> 2SO3(g)

From the balanced equation, the equilibrium constant K is written as follow:

K = [SO3]²/ [SO2]²• [O2]

With the above, the value of the equilibrium constant, K can be obtained as follow

K = [SO3]²/ [SO2]²• [O2]

K = (1.25)² / (1.50)² × 0.120

K = 1.5625 / ( 2.25 x 0.120)

K = 5.79

Therefore, the equilibrium constant is 5.79.

Why do you think the placebo effect works

timurjin [86]

Answer:

The placebo effect is when an improvement of symptoms is observed, despite using a nonactive treatment. It’s believed to occur due to psychological factors like expectations or classical conditioning.

Research has found that the placebo effect can ease things like pain, fatigue, or depression.

hope this will help u :)
