The quantum mechanical model leads to the introduction of quantum numbers representing the energy levels, sub-shells, orbitals as well as spin states of the electrons. So according to the quantum numbers we can perfectly define the position and energy of any electron in an element.

According to Pauli’s principle, any two electron cannot be having same set of quantum numbers. So, using the principle quantum number, azimuthal quantum number, magnetic and spin quantum number, we can define the energy and location of an electron in the atom.

Sodium sulfate dissolves as follows: Na2SO4(s) → 2Na+(aq) + SO42- (aq). How many moles of Na2SO4 are required to make 1.0 L of s

maxonik [38]

Answer: The number of moles of $Na_2SO_4$ is 0.05 moles.

Explanation:

To calculate the molarity of solution, we use the equation:

$\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}}{\text{Volume of solution (in L)}}$

We are given:

Molarity of solution = 0.10 mol/L

Volume of solution = 1 L

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$0.10mol/L=\frac{\text{Moles of sodium}}{1.0L}\\\\\text{Moles of sodium}=0.10mol$

The chemical reaction for the ionization of sodium sulfate follows the equation:

$Na_2SO_4(s)\rightarrow 2Na^+(aq.)+SO_4^{2-}(aq.)$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of sodium ions are produced by 1 mole of sodium sulfate

So, 0.10 moles of sodium ions will be produced by = $\frac{1}{2}\times 0.1=0.05moles$ of sodium sulfate.

Hence, the number of moles of $Na_2SO_4$ is 0.05 moles.

What properties characterize ionic compounds

nevsk [136]

The atoms in a compound are held together by a chemical bond. The chemical bonds can be either covalent bonds or ionic bonds. Both the bonds are considered very strong bonds. These bonds are mainly formed by sharing of electrons or in the case when one of the elements making the compound donates electron to the other element. The nucleus of each atom attracts to form a strong bond. This property of attraction between the nucleus of the atoms actually helps in forming the chemical bonds.
