Since hydrogen bonding is a stronger intermolecular force than van der Waals forces, more energy is required to separate the molecules of ethanol than the molecules of ethane. Thus ethanol has a higher melting point than ethane.
<h2>Answer:</h2>
Water (H2O) and Sodium (Na) are reactants.
<h2>Explanation:</h2>
2H2O+2Na......2NaOH+H2
In the above reaction the water (H2O) and sodium (Na) are reactants and sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and hydrogen are products.
And this is the single displacement reaction.
Compounds that are formed when two or more atoms combine to form molecules are called Molecular Compounds.
Answer:
The answer is
<h3>1.340 × 10²⁴ sodium atoms</h3>
To find the number of atoms of sodium we use the formula
N = n × L
where
n is the number of moles
N is the number of entities
L is Avogadro's constant which is

We need to find the number of moles first
The formula is

where
M is the molar mass
m is the mass
n is the number of moles
From the question
M = 22.9 g/mol
m = 51.0 g

n = 2.227 moles
So the number of sodium atoms is

We have the final answer as
<h3>1.340 × 10²⁴ sodium atoms</h3>
