H2O as an oxidant only

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Reaction

2 Na + 2 H2O → 2 NaOH + H2

Required

The function of water in the equation

Solution

Water : oxidizing agent

Na : reducing agent

Na⁰ → Na⁺ (oxidation)

H⁺- → H⁰ (reduction)

Acids and bases according to Bronsted-Lowry

Acid = donor (donor) proton (H⁺ ion)

Base = proton (receiver) acceptor (H⁺ ion)

If water is acting as an acid it should only give 1 H +, so that becomes:

H₂O (l) ⇔ OH⁻ (aq) not H₂

Calculate the volume of 2.65 moles of CO2 gas at STP.

Harman [31]

Answer:

The volume is 59, 3 liters. See the explanation below, please

Explanation:

STP conditions (standard) correspond to 273K of temperature and 1 atm of pressure. These values are used and the volume is calculated, according to the formula:

PV = nRT

1 atm x V= 2, 65 moles x 0, 082 l atm/K mol x 272 K

V= 2, 65 moles x 0, 082 l atm/K mol x 272 K/1 atm = 59, 3 liters

How many grams of sodium carbonate are produced when 5.3 moles of sodium phosphate reacts with aluminum carbonate?

Korvikt [17]

Answer: There is 842.54 grams of sodium carbonate are produced when 5.3 moles of sodium phosphate reacts with aluminum carbonate.

Explanation:

Chemical equation depicting reaction between sodium phosphate and aluminum carbonate is as follows.

$Al_{2}(CO_{3})_{3} + 2Na_{3}PO_{4} \rightarrow 2AlPO_{4} + 3Na_{2}CO_{3}$

As this equation contains same number of atoms on both reactant and product side. So, this equation is a balanced equation.

According to the equation, 2 moles of sodium phosphate is giving 3 moles of sodium carbonate.

Therefore, sodium carbonate formed by 5.3 moles of sodium phosphate is as follows.

$\frac{3}{2} \times 5.3 mol\\= 7.95 mol$

As number of moles is the mass of substance divided by its molar mass. So, mass of sodium carbonate ( molar mass = 105.98 g/mol) is as follows.

$No. of moles = \frac{mass}{molar mass}\\7.95 mol = \frac{mass}{105.98 g/mol}\\mass = 842.54 g$

Thus, we can conclude that there is 842.54 grams of sodium carbonate are produced when 5.3 moles of sodium phosphate reacts with aluminum carbonate.

Choose the correct net ionic equation for the reaction (if a reaction occurs) between CaCl2 and AgNO3: Group of answer choices

Levart [38]

Answer:

2Ag⁺(aq) + 2Cl⁻(aq) -> 2AgCl(s)

Explanation:

Silver nitrate and calcium chloride will react in a double displacement reaction (which has to produce a precipitate, a gas, or water to have a reaction).

This reaction will produce a silver chloride precipitate and a solution of calcium nitrate.

The reaction will be 2AgNO3(aq) + CaCl2(aq) -> 2AgCl(s) + Ca(NO3)2(aq)

To write a net ionic equation:

1. Write the balanced molecular equation.

2AgNO3 + CaCl2 -> 2AgCl(ppt) + Ca(NO3)2

2. Write the balanced complete ionic equation.

To write the complete ionic equation:

- Start with a balanced molecular equation.

2AgNO3(aq) + CaCl2(aq) -> 2AgCl(s) + Ca(NO3)2(aq)

- Break all soluble strong electrolytes (compounds with (aq) beside them) into their ions

indicate the correct formula and charge of each ion

indicate the correct number of each ion

write (aq) after each ion

- Bring down all compounds with (s), (l), or (g) unchanged.

2Ag⁺(aq) + 2NO³⁻(aq) + Ca²⁺(aq) + 2Cl⁻(aq) -> 2AgCl(s) + Ca²⁺(aq) + 2NO³⁻(aq)

3. Cross out the spectator ions that are present. Spectator ions are ions that are present in the reaction mixture but do not participate in it. You can recognize spectator ions by looking for ions that are present on both sides of the equation.

4. Write the "leftovers" as the net ionic equation.

2Ag⁺(aq) + 2Cl⁻(aq) -> 2AgCl(s)
