Answer:
Option A.
2Na + 2H2O —> 2NaOH + H2
Explanation:
To know which option is correct, we shall do a head count of the number of atoms present on both side to see which of them is balanced. This is illustrated below below:
For Option A:
2Na + 2H2O —> 2NaOH + H2
Reactant >>>>>>> Product
2 Na >>>>>>>>>>> 2 Na
4 H >>>>>>>>>>>> 4 H
2 O >>>>>>>>>>>> 2 O
Thus, the above equation is balanced.
For Option B:
2Na + 2H2O —> NaOH + H2
Reactant >>>>>>> Product
2 Na >>>>>>>>>>> 1 Na
4 H >>>>>>>>>>>> 3 H
2 O >>>>>>>>>>>> 1 O
Thus, the above equation is not balanced.
For Option C:
2Na + H2O —> 2NaOH + H2
Reactant >>>>>>> Product
2 Na >>>>>>>>>>> 2 Na
2 H >>>>>>>>>>>> 4 H
1 O >>>>>>>>>>>> 2 O
Thus, the above equation is not balanced.
For Option D:
Na + 2H2O —> NaOH + 2H2
Reactant >>>>>>> Product
1 Na >>>>>>>>>>> 1 Na
4 H >>>>>>>>>>>> 5 H
2 O >>>>>>>>>>>> 1 O
Thus, the above equation is not balanced.
From the illustrations made above, only option A is balanced.
All other elements react with other elements to form compounds. In the special case where the reaction produces fixed numbers of the same types of atoms in exactly the same configuration, we say the elements have formed a molecule.
Answer:
molar mass of methane CH4
= C + 4 H
= 12.0 + 4 x 1.008
= 12.0 + 4.032
= 16.042g/mol
7.31 x 10^25 molecules x 1 mole CH4 = 121.43 moles
6.02 x 10^23 CH4 molecules
121.43 moles CH4 are present.
Explanation:
not to certain if this is right or not.. but hope it helps!
