If it loses 1 electron, it will now have 1 more proton than electrons.

Thus, the charge would be 1+

Sodium metal (Na) reacts explosively with water to form sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and hydrogen gas. How many moles of sodium are n

Sati [7]

Answer:

308 moles of sodium

Explanation:

The balanced equation for the chemical reaction between sodium metal (Na) and water (H₂O) is the following:

2 Na(s) + 2 H₂O → 2 NaOH(aq) + H₂(g)

From the equation, we can see that 2 moles of Na react with 2 moles of H₂O to give 2 moles of NaOH and 1 mol of H₂ (hydrogen gas). So the stoichiometric mole ratio between Na and H₂ is: 2 mol Na/1 mol H₂. Thus, we multiply the mole ratio by the moles of H₂ to be produced to obtain the moles of Na required:

moles of Na required = 2 mol Na/1 mol H₂ x 154 moles H₂ = 308 moles Na

Therefore, 308 moles of sodium are needed to produce 154 moles of hydrogen gas.

18. What is the percent by mass sugar of a solution made by dissolving 12.45 grams of sugar in 100 grams of water?

Fantom [35]

The percent by mass sugar of a solution : 11.07%

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

mass of sugar = 12.45 g

mass of water = 100 g

Required

The percent by mass

Solution

Mass of solution :

$\tt mass~sugar+mass~water=12.45+100=112.45~g$

Percent mass of sugar :

$\tt \%mass=\dfrac{mass~sugar}{mass~solution}\times 100\%\\\\\%mass=\dfrac{12.45}{112.45}\times 100\%=11.07\%$

Group the following electron configurations in pairs that would represent similar chemical properties at their atoms;

marishachu [46]

Answer: Pairs are: (a) and (d), (b) and (f), (c) and (e)

Explanation:

In a periodic table, elements are arranged in 18 vertical columns known as groups and 7 horizontal rows known as periods.

Elements arranged in a group show similar chemical properties because of the presence of same number of valence electrons.

Valence electrons are defined as the electrons which are present in the outermost shell of an atom. Outermost shell has the highest value of 'n' that is principal quantum number.

For the given options:

For a:

The given electronic configuration is: $1s^22s^22p^63s^2$

The number of valence electrons in the given configuration are 2

For b:

The given electronic configuration is: $1s^22s^22p^63s^3$

The number of valence electrons in the given configuration are [2 + 3] = 5

For c:

The given electronic configuration is: $1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^23d^{10}4p^6$

The number of valence electrons in the given configuration are [2 + 6] = 8

For d:

The given electronic configuration is: $1s^22s^2$

The number of valence electrons in the given configuration are 2

For e:

The given electronic configuration is: $1s^22s^22p^6$

The number of valence electrons in the given configuration are [2 + 6] = 8

For f:

The given electronic configuration is: $1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^3$

The number of valence electrons in the given configuration are [2 + 3] = 5

Electronic configuration of (a) and (d) will form a pair, (b) and (f) will form a pair, (c) and (e) will form a pair and will have similar chemical properties.

Hence, the pairs are: (a) and (d), (b) and (f), (c) and (e)
