Describe what happens to the electrons when sodium and chlorine combine to make NaCl.

Chemistry

When a sodium atom transfers an electron to a chlorine atom, forming a sodium cation (Na+) and a chloride anion (Cl-), both ions have complete valence shells, and are energetically more stable. The reaction is extremely exothermic, producing a bright yellow light and a great deal of heat energy.

Answer:

We'll have 82 moles ZnO and 41 moles S

Explanation:

Step 1: data given

Number of moles Zinc (Zn) = 82 moles

Number of moles sulfur oxide (SO2) = 42 moles

Step 2: The balanced equation

2Zn + SO2 → 2ZnO + S

Step 3: Calculate the limiting reactant

For 2 moles Zinc we need 1 mol sulfur oxide to produce 2 moles zinc oxide and 1 mol sulfur

Zinc is the limiting reactant. It will completely be consume (82 moles). Sulfur oxide is in excess. There will react 82/2 = 41 moles

There will remain 42-41 = 1 mol SO2

Step 4: Calculate moles of products

For 2 moles Zinc we need 1 mol sulfur oxide to produce 2 moles zinc oxide and 1 mol sulfur

For 82 moles Zinc we'll have 82 moles of Zinc Oxide (ZnO)

For 82 moles Zinc we'll have 82/2 = 41 moles of sulfur

We'll have 82 moles ZnO and 41 moles S

Conditions for an experimental chemistry reaction require a temperature of 300 K. The temperature in the lab is 55 F. Which of t
OLga [1]
The suggested answers are for K=298 degrees and the nearest correct answer seems to be increase the room temperature by 22 degrees Fahrenheit. But by calculation, for 300 K, then convert 300k to degrees Celsius = 300-273.15=26.85 degrees celsius. Then convert the 26.85 to degrees F, so F=9/5C + 32= 48.33+32=80.33-55F (present room temperature)=25.33 degrees F to increase the room temperature by.

The PH of a 0.1 M MCl (M is an unknown cation) was found to be 4.7. Write the net ionic equation for the hydrolysis of M and its
Serggg [28]

Answer:

6.25 X10^{-9} = Ka

Kb= \frac{10^{-14}}{6.25 X10^{-9}}= 1.6X10^{-6}

Explanation:

The ionic equation for the hydrolysis of the cation of the given salt will be:

M^{+} + H_{2}O ---> MOH + H^{+}

The expression for Ka will be:

Ka = \frac{[H^{+}][MOH]}{[M^{+}]}

As given that the concentration of the salt is 0.1 M and pH of solution = 4.7, we can determine the concentration of Hydrogen ions from the pH

pH = -log [H⁺]

[H⁺] = antilog(-pH) = antilog (-4.7) = 2 X 10⁻⁵ M = [MOH]

Let us calculate Ka from this,

Ka = {2.5X10^{-5}X2.5X10^{-5}}{0.1} = 6.25 X10^{-9}

The relation between Ka an Kb is

KaXKb =10⁻¹⁴

Kb= \frac{10^{-14}}{6.25 X10^{-9}}= 1.6X10^{-6}
