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.

cluponka [151]

Answer:

The  ratio of HC2H3O2(aq) in the flask after the addition of 5.0mL of NaOH(aq) to HC2H3O2(aq) in the flask after the addition of 1.0mL of NaOH(aq) is 15 : 19 .

Explanation:

HC2H3O2 is  CH₃⁻ COOH, which is also known as Acetic acid.

IUPAC name of this compound is Ethanoic acid.

Acetic acid has a basicity of 1. so there is one acidic hydrogen is acetic acid.

Given that, equivalence point was reached when 20.0mL of NaOH is added.

let the normality of acetic acid is N₁ and that of NaOH is N₂.

    volume of acetic acid is V₁ and that of NaOH is V₂.  

 Equivalence point occurs when, N₁ × V₁ =  N₂ × V₂.

⇒  N₁ × V₁ =  N₂ × 20.

after the addition of 5.0mL of NaOH(aq), remaining N₁ × V°  = N₂ × (20 - 5).

                                                                                                  = N₂ × 15.

after the addition of 1.0mL of NaOH(aq), remaining N₁ × Vˣ = N₂ × (20 - 1).

                                                                                                  = N₂ × 19.

⇒ V° : Vˣ = 15 : 19 .

How is gravity an attractive force?
Helen [10]
Gravitational force -an attractive force that exists between all objects with mass; an object with mass attracts another object with mass; the magnitude of the force is directly proportional to the masses of the two objects and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the two objects.

What is the % yield when 140.0 grams of Ethylene gas (C2H4) reacts with excess chlorine to form 280.0 grams of 1,2-Dichloro Etha
Arlecino [84]

Answer:

The % yield is 56.6 %

Explanation:

This is the reaction:

C₂H₄ + Cl₂  →  C₂H₄Cl₂

Molar mass of ethylene gas: 28 g/m

Mol = mass / molar mass

140 g / 28 g/m = 5 moles

Ratio is 1:1, so 5 moles of ethylene produce 5 moles of dichloro ethane.

Molar mass of C₂H₄Cl₂ = 98.9 g/m

Mass of C₂H₄Cl₂ produced = 98.9 g/m . 5 m → 494.5 g

% yield reaction

(280 g / 494.5 g ) . 100 = 56.6%
