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).

Which of the following equations of CH4 + Cl2
mylen [45]

Balanced equation : C. CH₄ + 4Cl₂⇒  CCl₄+ 4HCl

<h3>Further explanation  </h3>

Equalization of chemical reactions can be done using variables. Steps in equalizing the reaction equation:  

1. gives a coefficient on substances involved in the equation of reaction such as a, b, or c, etc.  

2. make an equation based on the similarity of the number of atoms where the number of atoms = coefficient × index (subscript) between reactant and product  

3. Select the coefficient of the substance with the most complex chemical formula equal to 1  

Reaction

CH₄ + Cl₂⇒  CCl₄+ HCl

  • Give coefficient :

aCH₄ + bCl₂⇒  CCl₄+ cHCl

  • Make equation :

C, left=a, right=1⇒a=1

H, left=4a, right=c⇒4a=c⇒4.1=c⇒c=4

Cl, left=2b, right=4+c⇒2b=4+c⇒2b=4+4⇒2b=8⇒b=4

The equation becomes :

CH₄ + 4Cl₂⇒  CCl₄+ 4HCl

24 g of magnesium were burned in oxygen. The compound formed had a mass of 40 g. Explain why the mass had gone up.
DIA [1.3K]

Answer :

According to the law of conservation of mass, the mass of reactants must be equal to the mass of products.

The balanced chemical reaction is,

Mg+\frac{1}{2}O_2\rightarrow MgO

As we know that the molar mass of magnesium is 24 g/mole, the molar mass of O_2 is 32 g/mole and the molar mass of magnesium oxide is 40 g/mole.

From the given balanced reaction, we conclude that

As, 1 mole of magnesium react \frac{1}{2} mole of oxygen to give 1 mole of magnesium oxide.

So, the mass of Mg is 24 g, the mass of O_2=\frac{1}{2}\times 32=16g and the mass of MgO is 40 g.

That means 24 g of Mg react with 16 g O_2 to give 40 g of MgO.

A certain element exists as two different isotopes. 65.0% of its atoms have a mass of 24 amu and 35.0% of its atoms have a mass
Sauron [17]

Answer:

24.7 amu

Explanation:

An isotope is when an element can have different number of neutrons but they have same number of protons.

In order to calculate the average atomic mass with the given information do the following operations:

First change de percentages to fractional numbers, divide by 100.

I like to make a table, to organize all data and I believe is easier to understand.

65/100 = 0.65

35/100 = 0.35

% fraction

65.0 0.65

35.0 0.35

total100.0 1

Now multiply each mass with their corresponding fraction

24 (0.65) = 15.6

26 (0.35) = 9.1

%    fraction uma uma

65.0 0.65 24 15.6

35.0 0.35 26 9.1

total100.0    1          24.7

Finally you add the resulting mass and the units will be in uma.

15.6+9.1 = 24.7

Therefore the average atomic mass of this element will be 24.7 uma.
