Sodium has a lower ionization energy than magnesium describes why sodium reacts vigorously than magnesium chloride.

<h3>Why is sodium more reactive than magnesium?</h3>
  • Sodium is more reactive than magnesium because it has the ability to easily lose electron, hence have lower ionization energy.
  • Sodium belong to group one on the periodic table and they are called akali metal while magnesium belong to group two on the periodic table and they are called alkali Earth metal.

  • Sodium and magnesium belong to the in the 3rd period. Iin the outermost energy level sodium has one electron but magnesium has 2 electrons. Therefore, there is more attraction abetween the nucleus and electrons in magnesium than that of sodium.

Therefore, sodium is more reactive than magnesium chloride because of lower ionization energy.

At what point will the heat flow stop?
Sloan [31]

Answer: When you put a hot object in contact with a cold one it heat will flow from the warmer to the cooler. and as a result the warmer one will be usually cool down and the cooler one will usually warm up. Eventually, they will reach the same temperature and heat flow will stop.

Explanation: Hope this helps

What is the mole fraction of NaOH in an aqueous solution that
astraxan [27]

Answer:

The mole fraction of NaOH in an aqueous solution that contain 22.9% NaOH by mass=0.882

Explanation:

We are given that

Aqueous solution that contains 22.9% NaOH by mass means

22.9 g NaOH in 100 g solution.

Mass of NaOH(WB)=22.9 g

Mass of water =100-22.9=77.1

Na=23

O=16

H=1.01

Molar mass of NaOH(MB)=23+16+1.01=40.01

Number of moles =\frac{Given\;mass}{Molar\;mass}

Using the formula

Number of moles of  NaOH(n_B)=\frac{W_B}{M_B}=\frac{22.9}{40.01}

n_B=0.572moles

Molar mass of water=16+2(1.01)=18.02g

Number of moles of water(n_A)=\frac{77.1}{18.02}

n_A=4.279 moles

Now, mole fraction of NaOH

=\frac{n_B}{n_B+n_A}

=\frac{4.279}{0.572+4.279}

=0.882

Hence, the mole fraction of NaOH in an aqueous solution that contain 22.9% NaOH by mass=0.882

Determine the amount of heat(in Joules) needed to boil 5.25 grams of ice. (Assume standard conditions - the ice exists at zero d
Yuki888 [10]
Following are important constant that used in present calculations
Heat of fusion of H2O = 334 J/g 
<span>Heat of vaporization of H2O = 2257 J/g </span>
<span>Heat capacity of H2O = 4.18 J/gK 
</span>
Now, energy required for melting of ICE = <span>  334 X 5.25 = 1753.5 J .......(1)
Energy required for raising </span><span>the temperature water from 0 oC to 100 oC =  4.18 X 5.25 X 100 = 2195.18 J .............. (2)
</span>Lastly, energy required for boiling water = <span>  2257X 5.25 = 11849.25 J ......(3)
</span><span>
Thus, total heat energy required for entire process = (1) + (2)  + (3)
                                                                        = 1753.5 + 2195.18 + 11849.25
                                                                        = </span><span>15797.93 J 
</span><span>                                                                        = 15.8 kJ
</span><span>Thus, 15797.93 J of energy is needed to boil 5.25 grams of ice.</span>
