Each element or compound has a molar mass, which is calculated by multiplying the atomic mass of each element by the amount of atoms of that element, and summing the results of each element. The molar mass is measured in g/mol. So you divide the mass in grams by the molar mass to get the amount of moles.
Example:
There are 5g of water.
Calculate the amount of moles.
The water's formula is H2O, so the molar mass of it is
g/mol.
The amount of moles is:
5g ÷ 18g/mol ~ 0.28mol
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:
Which of the following happens during a lunar eclipse?
Select one:
a. Earth casts a shadow on the moon.
<u>b. The moon casts a shadow on Earth.
</u>
c. Earth stops revolving in its orbit.
d. Earth starts revolving around the moon.
Explanation:
The formula for kinetic energy is KE=1/2(mv²). Since both mass and velocity are multiplied by each other, particle with a larger mass needs to be moving slower than a particle with less mass if both have the same kinetic energy. You can think of it as 2KE/m=v² or 2KE/v²=m, If you increase the mass the velocity needs to decrease to keep the same KE value.
I hope this helps. Let me know in the comments if anything is unclear.

Explanation:
In two reactions energy is released.
1) C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ → 6H₂O + 6CO₂ + heat
It is cellular respiration reaction.It involves the breakdown of glucose molecule in the presence of oxygen to yield large amount of energy. Water and carbon dioxide are also produced as a byproduct.
Glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water + 38ATP
2) 2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O ΔH = -486 kj/mol
The given reaction is formation of water. In this reaction oxygen and hydrogen react to form water and 486 kj/mol is also released.
The reaction in which heat is released is called exothermic reaction.
Exothermic reaction:
The type of reactions in which energy is released are called exothermic reactions.
In this type of reaction energy needed to break the bonds are less than the energy released during the bond formation.
For example:
Chemical equation:
C + O₂ → CO₂
ΔH = -393 Kj/mol
it can be written as,
C + O₂ → CO₂ + 393 Kj/mol
Endothermic reactions:
The type of reactions in which energy is absorbed are called endothermic reactions.
In this type of reaction energy needed to break the bond are higher than the energy released during bond formation.
For example:
C + H₂O → CO + H₂
ΔH = +131 kj/mol
it can be written as,
C + H₂O + 131 kj/mol → CO + H₂
