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.​

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.

A gas has a volume of 5.0 L at a pressure of 50 KPa. What happens to the volume when the pressure is increased to 125?
Alexeev081 [22]
The volume becomes two. You have to use the equation P1 x V1 = P2 x V2 
P is pressure and V is volume.
P1 = 50     P2 = 125
V1 = 5       V2 = v (we don't know what it is)
Then set up the equation:
50 times 5 = 125 times v
250 = 125v
the divide both sides by 125 and isolate v
2 = v
Therefore the volume is decreased to 2.
Also, Boyle's Law explains this too: Volume and pressure are inversely related, This means that when one goes up the other goes down (ie when pressure increases volume decreases and vice versa). Becuase the pressure went up from 50 KPa tp 125 KPa the volume had to decrease.

Refer to the Chemical Compounds table above. How many total elements are in<br> Ethanol?
Korolek [52]

Answer:

3 element i.e carbon (C), hydrogen (H) and oxygen.

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Subtance >>>>>>>> Chemical Formula

Glucose >>>>>>>>> C₆H₁₂O₆

Methane >>>>>>>> CH₄

Ethanol >>>>>>>>> C₂H₅OH

Hydrogen peroxide >> H₂O₂

From the above table, we can see that ethanol (C₂H₅OH) contains carbon (C), hydrogen (H) and oxygen

Therefore, the total number of elements present in ethanol, C₂H₅OH is 3.

How do core electrons relate to the ionization energy of the atom?
Archy [21]

Answer:

For any given element, ionization energy increases as subsequent electrons are removed. For example, the energy required to remove an electron from neutral chlorine is 1251 kJ/mol. ... An even sharper increase in ionization energy is witnessed when inner-shell, or core, electrons are removed.

Hope it helps :)
