Reaction of sodium with water
Sodium metal reacts rapidly with water to form a colourless solution of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and hydrogen gas (H2). The resulting solution is basic because of the dissolved hydroxide. The reaction is exothermic. During the reaction, the sodium metal may well become so hot that it catches fire and burns with a characteristic orange colour. The reaction is slower than that of potassium (immediately below sodium in the periodic table), but faster than that of lithium (immediately above sodium in the periodic table).
2Na(s) + 2H2O → 2NaOH(aq) + H2(g)
Answer:
V₂ = 0.6 V.
Explanation:
- We can use the general law of ideal gas: <em>PV = nRT.</em>
where, P is the pressure of the gas in atm.
V is the volume of the gas in L.
n is the no. of moles of the gas in mol.
R is the general gas constant,
T is the temperature of the gas in K.
- If n is constant, and have different values of P, V and T:
<em>(P₁V₁T₂) = (P₂V₂T₁).</em>
<em></em>
V₁ = V, P₁ = P, T₁ = T.
V₂ = ??? V, P₂ = 1.25 P, T₂ = 0.75 T.
<em>∴ V₂ = (P₁V₁T₂)/(P₂T₁) =</em> (P)(V)(0.75 T)/(1.25 P)(T)<em> = 0.6 V.</em>
He set up his periodic table by the atomic mass
Answer: Some signs of a chemical change are a change in color and the formation of bubbles. The five conditions of chemical change: color chage, formation of a precipitate, formation of a gas, odor change, temperature change.
