When sodium is put in water, the metal floats on the surface and reacts to form sodium

Answer: Sodium also floats on the surface, but enough heat is given off to melt the sodium (sodium has a lower melting point than lithium and the reaction produces heat faster) and it melts almost at once to form a small silvery ball that dashes around the surface.

Answer:

hydroxide.

Explanation:

Alkali metals are in group 1 of the Periodic Table. They are on the left of the Periodic Table. These are the alkali metals as follows:

  • Lithium
  • Sodium
  • Potassium
  • Rubidium
  • Caesium
  • Francium

When alkali metals react with water they make alkaline solutions, so the universal indicator turns people and they produce hydrogen and a metal hydroxide. When sodium is put in water, the metal floats on the surface it reacts to form sodium hydroxide and hydrogen.

Which of the following is not a possible termination step in the free radical chlorination of methane? Group of answer choices ∙
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer: first option is not a termination

∙CH3 + Cl2 → CH3Cl + Cl∙

Explanation:

Since a radical is formed as part of the product it means it's a propagation step and not a termination step, at termination no free radical exist as product

What is the correct equation for the reaction quotient of the following reaction? 2Fe3+(aq) + Zn(s) ⇌ 2Fe2+(aq) + Zn2+(aq)
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Explanation:

A reaction quotient is defined as the ratio of concentration of products over reactants raised to the power of their stoichiometric coefficients.

A reaction quotient is denoted by the symbol Q.

For example, 2Fe^{3+}(aq) + Zn(s) \rightleftharpoons 2Fe^{2+}(aq) + Zn^{2+}(aq)

The reaction quotient for this reaction is as follows.

            Q = \frac{[Fe^{2+}]^{2}[Zn^{2+}]}{[Fe^{3+}]^{2}}

[Zn] will be equal to 1 as it is present in solid state. Therefore, we don't need to write it in the reaction quotient expression.

Calculate the ph of the solution made by adding 0.50 mol of hobr and 0.30 mol of kobr to 1.00 l of water. the value of ka for ho
nikdorinn [45]
To fully understand the problem, we use the ICE table to identify the concentration of the species. We calculate as follows:

Ka = 2.0 x 10^-9 = [H+][OBr-] / [HOBr] 

HOBr  = 0.50 M 
KOBr  = 0.30 M = OBr-

<span>     HOBr + H2O <-> H+ + OBr- </span>
<span>I     0.50        -              0          0.30 </span>
<span>C       -x                        x             x 
</span>---------------------------------------------
<span>E(0.50-x)                    x       (0.30+x) </span>

<span>Assuming that the value of  x is small as compared to 0.30 and 0.50 </span>

<span>Ka = 2.0 x 10^-9 = x (0.30) / 0.50) </span>

<span>x = 3.33 x 10^-9 = H+</span>

Identify all the physical properties of a base.
KiRa [710]

Answer:

  • Bases are ionic compounds that produce negative hydrogen ions (OH⁻) when dissolved in water.
  • An example of a base is Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH).
  • Bases have a bitter taste.
  • Bases feel slippery.
  • Bases conduct electricity when dissolved in water.
  • Bases change litmus paper from red to blue in colour.
  • They react with acids to form a salt and water, this process is called neutralisation.
  • The pH of bases ranges from 8-14.
  • Turns phenolphthalein pink.

Hope this helps!
