Is table salt, NaCl, a typical ionic compound? Explain.
1 answer:
Yes because Na is a metal and Cl is a nonmental, so they criss cross charges, as Na is 2+ and Cl is 2-, 2+ indicates that Na gives AWAY electrons to Cl and the 2- on Cl indicates it receiving electrons. NaCl is table salt and forms a crystal lattice structure, which is why salt is solid at room temperature.

From the given balanced equation we have find out the amount (in gm) of Ag formed from 5.50 gm of Ag₂O.
2Ag₂O(s) → 4Ag (s) + O₂ (g)
We know, molecular mass of Ag₂O= 231.7 g/mol, and atomic mass of Ag= 107.8 g/mol. Given, mass of Ag₂O=5.50 gm. Number moles of Ag₂O== 0.0237 moles.
From the balanced chemical reaction we get 2 (two) moles of Ag₂O produces 4 (four) moles of Ag. So, 0.0237 moles of Ag₂O produces moles=0.0474 moles of Ag= 0.0474 X 107.8 g of Ag=5.11g Ag.
Therefore, 5.50 g Ag₂O produces 5.11 g of Ag as per the given balanced chemical reaction.
