Physical properties of matter
Answer:
3.62moles
Explanation:
First let us generate a balanced equation for the reaction
2Na + Cl2 —> 2NaCl
Molar Mass of Na = 23g/mol
Mass of Na from the balanced equation = 2 x 23 = 46g
Molar Mass of NaCl = 23 + 35.5 = 58.5g/mol
Mass of NaCl from the balanced equation = 2 x 58.5 = 117g
From the question,
46g of Na produced 117g of NaCl.
Therefore, 83g of Na will produce = (83 x 117)/46 = 211.11g of NaCl
Converting this mass (211.11g of NaCl) to mole, we obtain:
n = Mass /Molar Mass
n = 211.11/ 58.5
3.62moles
Answer:
With an understanding of the ideal gas laws, it is now possible to apply these principles to chemical stoichiometry problems. For example, zinc metal and hydrochloric acid (hydrogen chloride dissolved in water) react to form zinc (II) chloride and hydrogen gas according to the equation shown below:
2 HCl (aq) + Zn (s) → ZnCl2 (aq) + H2 (g)
Explanation:
A law is statement about an observed concept. A theory involves the explanation of scientific concepts or principles. A hypothesis is the predicted explanation about some concepts that has to be tested in order to prove it to be right. An observation is the observing the results of a scientific experiment carried out to test an hypothesis.
Here the given statement 'A chemist mixes sodium with water and witnesses a violent reaction between the metal and water,' can be classified as an observation as it explains what the chemists observes as a result of his chemical experiment or test..
