Answer: sodium + water → sodium hydroxide + hydrogen

Explanation:

1) The first part of the statment "sodium combines with water" means that these two pure substances are the reactants.

Sodium is an alkali metal (group 1: Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, Fr).

A typical chemical property of the alkali metal elments is that they react violently with water fo form the corresponding hydroxide and hydrogen gas.

2) The next two words, "to produce ". indicates, precisely, that what follow is the product of the reaction. In the chemical reaction it is indicated by the arrow →

3) Finally, you are told the products of the reaction: sodium hydroxide and hydrogen gas.

4) The word equation then follows the order reactants → products, which in this case is the sodium + water → sodium hydroxide + hydrogen

5) Using chemical symbols and conventions, that is:

Na(s) + H₂O (l) → NaOH(aq) + H₂(g).

A 1.87 L aqueous solution of KOH contains 155 g of KOH . The solution has a density of 1.29 g/mL . Calculate the molarity ( M ),

lbvjy [14]

Answer:

[KOH] = 1.47 M

[KOH] = 1.22 m

KOH = 6.86 % m/m

Explanation:

Let's analyse the data

1.87 L is the volume of solution

Density is 1.29 g/mL → Solution density

155 g of KOH → Mass of solute

Moles of solute is (mass / molar mass) = 2.76 moles.

Molarity is mol/L → 2.76 mol / 1.87 L = 1.47 M

Let's determine, the mass of solvent.

Molality is mol of solute / 1kg of solvent

We can use density to find out the mass of solution

Mass of solution - Mass of solute = Mass of solvent

Density = Mass / volume

1.29 g/mL = Mass / 1870 mL

Notice, we had to convert L to mL, cause the units of density.

1.29 g/mL . 1870 mL = Mass → 2412.3 g

2412.3 g - 155 g = 2257.3 g of solvent

Let's convert the mass of solvent to kg

2257.3 g / 1000 = 2.25kg

2.76 mol / 2.25kg = 1.22 m (molality)

% percent by mass = mass of solute in 100g of solution.

(155 g / 2257.3 g) . 100g = 6.86 % m/m

In the formula X2O5, the symbol X could represent an element in Group

topjm [15]

Answer: (3) 15

Explanation: We criss-cross down the oxidation numbers to get the subscripts for the correct formulas. That means the X has an oxidation number of 5. The element with the + oxidation number is always written first so it is +5. Of the groups names, only group 15 has +5 as an oxidation number.

If 34.7 g of AgNO₃ react with 28.6 g of H₂SO₄ according to this UNBALANCED equation below, how many grams of Ag₂SO₄ could be for

Luba_88 [7]

The number of grams of Ag2SO4 that could be formed is 31.8 grams

<u><em> calculation</em></u>

Balanced equation is as below

2 AgNO3 (aq) + H2SO4(aq) → Ag2SO4 (s) +2 HNO3 (aq)

Find the moles of each reactant by use of mole= mass/molar mass formula

that is moles of AgNO3= 34.7 g / 169.87 g/mol= 0.204 moles

moles of H2SO4 = 28.6 g/98 g/mol =0.292 moles

use the mole ratio to determine the moles of Ag2SO4

that is;

the mole ratio of AgNo3 : Ag2SO4 is 2:1 therefore the moles of Ag2SO4= 0.204 x1/2=0.102 moles

The moles ratio of H2SO4 : Ag2SO4 is 1:1 therefore the moles of Ag2SO4 = 0.292 moles

AgNO3 is the limiting reagent therefore the moles of Ag2SO4 = 0.102 moles

<h3> finally find the mass of Ag2SO4 by use of mass=mole x molar mass formula</h3>

that is 0.102 moles x 311.8 g/mol= 31.8 grams
