Imagine you are about to investigate what happens when sodium and potassium are mixed together. Before you begin your experiment

, a peer tells you this reaction is impossible, as both elements will not react to chemically bond to one another. Type a paragraph statement explaining why this is true. Be sure to relate this cause to chemical bonding and the elements’ positions on the periodic table.​

Explanation:

Potassium and Sodium are both metals on the periodic table. Both elements are found on the s-block of the table. Therefore, it is not possible for both of them to combine to form a compound.

For a compound to form two elements must combine in a definite order to given  single product.

The combination is facilitated by a loss, gain or sharing of electrons between two species. This leads to an attraction between the combining species.

Both Sodium and potassium would prefer to lose electrons and there is no reason for them to combine to form a compound.

Limiting Reactant Worksheet
faltersainse [42]

Answer:

a) 1.61 mol

b) Al is limiting reactant

c) HBr is in excess

Explanation:

Given data:

Moles of Al = 3.22 mol

Moles of HBr = 4.96 mol

Moles of H₂ formed = ?

What is limiting reactant =

What is excess reactant = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2Al  + 2HBr  → 2AlBr + H₂

Now we will compare the moles:

                Al              :               H₂

                  2              :               1

                 3.22         :            1/2×3.22 = 1.61 mol

                HBr            :              H₂

                 2                :               1

                4.96            :          1/2×4.96 = 2.48 mol      

The number of moles of H₂ produced by Al are less it will be limiting reactant while HBr is present in excess.

Moles of H₂ :

Number of moles of H₂ = 1.61 mol

Which statement accurately describes the charge of the nucleus of an atom? (2 points) The nucleus can be either positively charg
Andrew [12]
Atoms are fundamental constituents of all matter. The following statement is correct. The nucleus always has a positive charge. This is because the nucleus contains sub-atomic particles called protons. Each proton carries a single positive charge. The nucleus is also home to sub-atomic particles called neutrons that do not possess a charge.
