(40 Points) Complete, balance, compute the amounts of the products assuming 100% yield. 10g Na + 10g Oxygen.
Lilit [14]

13.5g

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of Na = 10g

Mass of O₂ = 10g

Unknown:

Mass of products formed = ?

Balanced equation = ?

Solution:

The balanced chemical equation is shown below:

                  4Na       +     O₂     ⇒      2Na₂O

In any reaction, the specie in short supply determines the extent of the reaction.

This reaction is not an exclusion. We need to first determine the specie in short supply and use it to estimate the amount of product since we have a 100% yield which signifies that all was used up.

  let us convert to moles;

    Number of moles of Na = \frac{mass }{molar mass}  = \frac{10}{23} = 0.435mole

 Number of moles of O₂ = \frac{mass}{molar mass} = \frac{10}{32} = 0.313mole

From the given equation;

   4 moles of Na requires 1 mole of O₂;

  0.435 moles of Na will require \frac{0.435}{4} = 0.11 moles

 But the given amount O₂ is 0.313, this is an excess of 0.313 - 0.11 = 0.203moles

We see that Na is the limiting reagent;

   4 moles of Na gives 2 mole of Na₂O

   0.435 moles of Na will give \frac{0.435 x 2 }{4} = 0.22 moles

Mass of Na₂O = number of moles x molar mass = 62 x 0.22 = 13.5g

Would an earthquake support the principle of uniformitarianism or the principle of catastrophism? Explain.
liberstina [14]

Question: Would an earthquake support the principle of uniformitarianism or the principle of catastrophism? Explain.

Answer: Catastrophism was the theory that the Earth had largely been shaped by sudden, short-lived, violent events, possibly worldwide in scope. This was in contrast to uniformitarianism (sometimes described as gradualism), in which slow incremental changes, such as erosion, created all the Earth's geological features.

Hope this helps, have a good day. c;

Why does the nucleus of an atom have a positive charge but overall have a neutral<br> charge?
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

The nucleus has an overall positive charge as it contains the protons. Every atom has no overall charge (neutral). This is because they contain equal numbers of positive protons and negative electrons. These opposite charges cancel each other out making the atom neutral.

After 15 minutes, 30 g of a sample of polonium-218 remain unchanged. If the original sample had a mass of 960 g, what is the hal
Keith_Richards [23]
Q1. The answer is 3 minutes.

Let's first calculate the remaining amount in percent:
If 960g is 100 percent (starting amount), 30 g is how many percents:
960 g : 100% = 30 g : x
x = 30 g * 100% / 960 g = 3.125% = 0.03125

Now, using the formula to calculate the number of half-lives:
(1/2)ⁿ = x,
where
x is the remaining amount: x = 0.03125
n is the number of half-lives
1/2 stands for half-life.

(1/2)ⁿ = 0.03125
⇒ n*log(1/2) = log(0.03125) 
    n = log(0.03125)/log(1/2) = log(0.03125)/log(0.5) = -1.505/-0.301 ≈ 5

The number of half-lives is 5.
Now, <span>the number of half-lives (n) is a quotient of total time elapsed (T) and length of half-life (L):
n = T/L
We know:
n = 5
T = 15 min
L = ?

Thus
L = T/n
L = 15 min/5 = 3 minutes

Q2. Filtration should be chosen.
Filtration and distillation are used to separate mixtures - filtration for the separation of heterogeneous mixtures and </span>distillation for the separation of homogeneous mixtures. Imagine that your pile of soil is a mixture. It consists of different components (the leaves, acorns, twigs), so it is the heterogeneous mixture. Therefore, to separate the leaves, acorns, twigs you will use filtration.
