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.

What is the empirical formula for a compound composed of 0.0683 mol of carbon ( C ), 0.0341 mol of hydrogen ( H ), and 0.1024 mo
liubo4ka [24]

The empirical formula for a compound composed of 0.0683 mol of carbon ( C ), 0.0341 mol of hydrogen ( H ), and 0.1024 mol of nitrogen ( N ) is  C_2HN_3.

<h3>What is the empirical formula?</h3>

An empirical formula tells us the relative ratios of different atoms in a compound.

Given data:

Moles of carbon = 0.0683 mol

Moles of hydrogen = 0.0341 mol

Moles of nitrogen = 0.1024 mol

Dividing each mole using the smallest number that is divided by 0.0341 moles.

We get:

Carbon= 2

Hydrogen=1

Nitrogen=3

The empirical formula for a compound isC_2HN_3.
