The balanced equation for the neutralisation reaction is as follows
Ca(OH)₂ + H₂SO₄ ---> CaSO₄ + 2H₂O
stoichiometry of Ca(OH)₂ to H₂SO₄ is 1:1
equivalent number of acid reacts with base
number of H₂SO₄ mol reacting - 2 mol
according to molar ratio of 1:1
number of Ca(OH)₂ mol = number of H₂SO₄ moles
therefore number of Ca(OH)₂ moles required - 2 mol
If you mean what group of elements react the most, the answer is the alkali metals and the halogens because they both only either need to gain or lose one electron. If you mean the most reactive element, it would be fluorine because it has the most electronegativity.
The complete balanced chemical reaction is:
2 AgNO3 + Na2S --> 2 NaNO3 + Ag2S
First let us calculate the number of moles of AgNO3.
moles AgNO3 = 0.315 M * 0.035 L
moles AgNO3 = 0.011025 mol
From the reaction, 1 mole of Na2S is needed for every 2
moles of AgNO3 hence:
moles Na2S required = 0.011025 mol AgNO3 * (1 mol Na2S / 2
mol AgNO3)
moles Na2S required = 5.5125 x 10^-3 mol
Therefore volume required is:
volume Na2S = 5.5125 x 10^-3 mol / 0.260 M
<span>volume Na2S = 0.0212 L = 21.2 mL</span>
Reaction of sodium with water
Sodium metal reacts rapidly with water to form a colourless solution of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and hydrogen gas (H2). The resulting solution is basic because of the dissolved hydroxide. The reaction is exothermic. During the reaction, the sodium metal may well become so hot that it catches fire and burns with a characteristic orange colour. The reaction is slower than that of potassium (immediately below sodium in the periodic table), but faster than that of lithium (immediately above sodium in the periodic table).
2Na(s) + 2H2O → 2NaOH(aq) + H2(g)
