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

1 answer:

4 0

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.

Which of the following represents radiant energy being converted to chemical energy?

Arte-miy333 [17]

ANSWER

The correct answer is A

EXPLANATION

Plants manufacture their on food by the process of photosynthesis. During this process, plants trap radiant energy from the sun by the help of chlorophyll in the leaves.

Radiant energy with other raw materials such as water, carbon dioxide and mineral salts is converted to food (in the form of starch) which contains chemical energy.

Which one of the following statements is FALSE? a In a neutralization reaction, an acid reacts with base to produce a salt and H

pishuonlain [190]

Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

HF is a weak acid and not a strong acid. This is because fluorine is a highly electronegative atom and when it combines with a hydrogen atom then it will attract the valence electron of hydrogen atom more towards itself.

As a result, it will not dissociates easily to give hydrogen ion. Hence, it acts as a weak acid.

A neutralization reaction is defined as a reaction in which an acid reacts with a base to give salt and water. For example, $HCl + NaOH \rightarrow NaCl + H_{2}O$

It is true that, spectator ions "appear in the total ionic equation for a reaction, but not in the net ionic equation".

Titration is defined as a process in which concentration of an unknown solution is determined using a solution of known concentration.

Thus, we can conclude that the statement HF, HCl, and HNO3 are all examples of strong acids, is false.

a student prepares a dilute solution of sodium hydroxidem, NaOH (aq), starting with 6 M sodium hydroxide. She then titrates a 1.

Serjik [45]

Answer:

M = 0.3077 M

Explanation:

As I said in the comments, you are missing the required volume of the base to react with the KHP. I found this on another site, and the volume it used was 21.84 mL.

Now, KHP is a compound often used to standarize NaOH or KOH solutions. This is because it contains a mole ratio of 1:1 with the base, so it's pretty easy to use and standarize any base.

Now, as we are using an acid base titration, the general expression to use when a acid base titration reach the equivalence point would be:

n₁ = n₂ (1)

This, of course, if the mole ratio is 1:1. In the case of KHP and NaOH it is.

Now, we also know that moles can be expressed like this:

n = M * V (2)

And according to this, we are given the volume of base and the required mass of KHP. So, if we want to know the concentration of the base, we need to get the moles of the KHP, because in the equivalence point, these moles are the same moles of base.

The reported molar mass of KHP is 204.22 g/mol, so the moles are:

n = 1.372 / 204.22 = 6.72x10⁻³ moles

Now, we will use expression (2) to get the concentration of the diluted base:

n = M * V

M = n / V

M = 6.72x10⁻³ / 0.02184

M NaOH = 0.3077 M

This is the concentration of the dilute solution of NaOH

if 3.26 g of FeNO33 is dissolved in enough water to make exactly what is the molar concentration of nitrate ion g

Tanzania [10]

Answer:

0.404M

Explanation:

...<em>To make exactly 100.0mL of solution...</em>

Molar concentration is defined as the amount of moles of a solute (In this case, nitrate ion, NO₃⁻) in 1 L of solution.

To solve this question we need to convert the mass of Fe(NO₃)₃ to moles. As 1 mole of Fe(NO₃)₃ contains 3 moles of nitrate ion we can find moles of nitrate ion in 100.0mL of solution, and we can solve the amount of moles per liter:

<em>Moles Fe(NO₃)₃ -Molar mass: 241.86g/mol-:</em>

3.26g * (1mol / 241.86g) =

0.01348 moles Fe(NO₃)₃ * (3 moles of NO₃⁻ / 1mole Fe(NO₃)₃) =

<em>0.0404 moles of NO₃⁻</em>

In 100mL = 0.1L, the molar concentration is:

0.0404 moles of NO₃⁻ / 0.100L =
