Because the oily part of its molecule tends to lay up against solid surfaces, but without much in the way of areas of electric charge that would cause it to stick more firmly to that surface.
Sodium reacts to chlorine and gives NaCl. The balanced reaction is given below:
2Na + Cl₂→ 2NaCl. Two moles Na reacts with one mole Cl₂ and produces two moles of NaCl. Atomic mass of Na= 23, Molar mass of Cl₂= 71, molar mass of NaCl=58.5.
So, 46 g Na reacts with 71 g of Cl₂ and produces (2 X 58.5)g = 117 g of NaCl. As per question Na reacts completely which means Na is the limiting reagent. So, number of moles of Na reacts = number moles of NaCl produced.
NaCl produced= 819 g= (819/58.5) moles= 15.69 moles. Therefore, 15.69 moles = 15.69 X 23 g=360.87 g of Na reacted.
If iron (Fe) gained a proton it would become cobalt (CO).
