When sodium is dissolved in water, why is it that the water molecules orient themselves such that their oxygen atoms are facing

the sodium? Be specific.​

NikAS [45]3 years ago

Answer: water molecules are polar and Os are slightly negative. Na loses its electron to the nearest H and so is positive. The overall reaction is that the single electron of Na attaches to a H, breaking the bond with O. This leaves Na+ and the OH- ions in solution, while the H atoms form H2 and are released as gas.

How many grams of nan3 are required to produce 19.0 ft3 of nitrogen gas, about the size of an automotive air bag, if the gas has
Papessa [141]

The  balanced chemical reaction is given as:

2NaN_{3}(s)\rightarrow 2Na(s)+3N_{2}(g)

Now, convert 19.0 ft^{3} into litres.

1 ft^{3}  = 28.3168

So, 19.0 ft^{3} = 19\times 28.3168 = 538.0192 L

Density is equal to the ratio of mass to the volume.

D=\frac{M}{V}

where, M = mass and V= volume (538.0192 L)

Substitute the value of density and volume in formula to get the value of mass.

1.25 g/L=\frac{M}{538.0192 L}

1.25 g/L\times 538.0192 L= M

Mass = 672.524 g

Now, number of moles of N_{2} gas=\frac{672.524 g}{28.02 g/mol}

= 24.00 moles

According to the reaction, 2 moles of sodium azide gives 3 moles of nitrogen gas.

Now, in 24.00 moles of nitrogen gas produced from= \frac{2 moles of sodium azide}{3 moles of nitrogen gas}\times 24.00 moles of nitrogen gas, moles of sodium azide.

number of moles of sodium azide  = 16 moles

Mass of sodium azide in g  =  number of moles\times molar mass of sodium azide.

= 16 moles\times 65.00 g/mol

= 1040 g

Thus, mass of sodium azide which is required to produce 19.0 ft^{3} of nitrogen gas  = 1040 g

Which half-reaction correctly represents oxidation?
Leokris [45]

Answer: Mg\rightarrow Mg^{2+}+2e^- represents oxidation.

Explanation:

Oxidation-reduction reaction or redox reaction is defined as the reaction in which oxidation and reduction reactions occur simultaneously.

Oxidation reaction is defined as the reaction in which a substance looses its electrons. The oxidation state of the substance increases.

Example: Mg\rightarrow Mg^{2+}+2e^-

Reduction reaction is defined as the reaction in which a substance gains electrons. The oxidation state of the substance gets reduced.

Example: Mg^{2+}+2e^-\rightarrow Mg

Mg\rightarrow Mg^{2+}+2e^- represents oxidation.
