explain how sodium and calcium react with water. explain with equations

Answers

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)

Suppose a compound is involved in three different reactions denoted R1, R2, and R3. Tripling the concentration of this reactant in all three reactions causes the rates of reaction to increase by factors of 3, 9, and 1, respectively. What is the order of each reaction with respect to this reactant? 1. R1 = 1; R2 = 2; R3 = 0

Answers

Answer:

The order of reaction is as follows, R1 = 1; R2 = 2; R3 = 0

Explanation:

The rate of a chemical reaction is the number of moles of reactants consumed per unit time or the number of moles of products formed per unit. the rate of a chemical reaction is affected by the concentration of reactants

The relationship between the rate of a chemical reaction and the concentration of its reactants is given by the rate law or equation.

Generally, the rate equation is given as;

Rate = k[A]ᵃ[B]ᵇ..., where k = rate constant which is independent of concentration of the reactants, [A] = concentration of reactant A, a = order of reaction A, [B] = concentration of reaction B, b = order of reaction B.

For the given reactions R1, R2 and R3

For R1; rate = 3, Concentration = 3[A]

3 = k[A]3ˣ

3¹ = k[A]3ˣ

Since rate is proportional to concentration, therefore, the order of reaction, x = 1

For R2; rate = 9, Concentration = 3[A]

9 = k[A]3ˣ

3² = k[A]3ˣ

Since rate is proportional to concentration, therefore, the order of reaction, x = 2

For R1; rate = 1, Concentration = 3[A]

1 = k[A]3ˣ

3⁰ = k[A]3ˣ

Since rate is proportional to concentration, therefore, the order of reaction, x = 0

Therefore, the order of reaction is as follows, R1 = 1; R2 = 2; R3 = 0

In the image above the ruler is measuring in centimeters. The blue cylinder falls somewhere between 2.7cm and 2.8cm according to the ruler. Since we can estimate the last digit I would say that the length of the cylinder is 2.76cm. Since I am estimating any number 2.72cm or 2.78cm could also be correct.

Why would 2.755 not be a correct measurement according to estimating the last digit?

Answers

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

Resolution is the smallest unit of measurement that can be measured by a measuring instrument. Each point on the ruler is 0.1 cm and the difference between any two points, about 0.01 cm cam be measured. The minimum measurement (resolution) that can be measured by the ruler is 0.01 cm (two decimals), therefore it cannot measure up to three decimal places such as numbers like 2.755.

A. The investigation compared a group that took the medication to a control group that did not take the medication.

B. The scientists and all test subjects involved in the investigation work for the company that sells the medication.

C. The weight loss medication worked for 95 out of the 100 test subjects, while only 15 of the 100 control subjects lost weight.

D. The weight loss results were replicated by scientists conducting a study at an independent institution

The correct option would be that the scientists and all test subjects involved in the investigation work for the company that sells the medication.

When selecting the test subjects for research, the selection must be as random as possible so as to ensure an unbiased outcome and increase the reliability of the research.

Limiting the test subjects to those that work in the company that sells the medication will generally reduce the reliability of the outcome because of element of bias that can be introduced either knowingly or unknowingly.

The test subjects must have been selected from the general population of target users for the medication and not limited to just the employees of the manufacturing company.

A sample of copper is heated to 100°C and placed into a calorimeter containing 50 g of water at 25°C after a few minutes the final temperature of the system reaches 40°C how much heat in joules was released by the copper Sample

Answers

Answer:

Heat = 3138J

Explanation:

In the system, the sample of Copper is releasing heat that produce the increasing in the temperature of water.

Using the equation of calorimeter, we can find the heat released for the sample of copper (The same that is absorbed for the water):

Q = C×m×ΔT

Where Q is heat, C is specific heat (For water: 4.184J/molK), m is the mass of water (50g) and ΔT is change in temperature of water (40°C-25°C = 15°C)

Replacing:

Q = 4.184J/molK×50g×15°C

Q = 3138J is the heat released for the sample of Copper (The same absorbed for the water).

Answer:

heat=3138j

Explanation:

In the system, the sample of Copper is releasing heat that produce the increasing in the temperature of water.

Using the equation of calorimeter, we can find the heat released for the sample of copper (The same that is absorbed for the water):

Q = C×m×ΔT

Where Q is heat, C is specific heat (For water: 4.184J/molK), m is the mass of water (50g) and ΔT is change in temperature of water (40°C-25°C = 15°C)

Replacing:

Q = 4.184J/molK×50g×15°C

Q = 3138J is the heat released for the sample of Copper (The same absorbed for the water).

CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O In the chemical reaction, if 10 moles of H2O are produced, moles of CO2 are also produced

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is 5 moles of CO2 are produced.

Explanation:

The given reaction:  

CH₄ (g) + 2O₂ (g) ⇔ CO₂ (g) + 2H₂O (g)

The given reaction is an illustration of a combustion reaction. Any reaction in which a substance is burnt in excess of oxygen to generate water and carbon dioxide is termed as a combustion reaction. From the given equation, it is clear that the moles of the formation of the products are in the ratio 1: 2, that is, if 10 moles of H₂O is produced, the production of 5 moles of CO₂ will be produced.  

Let us multiply, the given equation with 5 we get,  

5CH₄ + 10O₂ ⇔ 5CO₂ + 10H₂O

Hence, it is clear that with the formation of 10 moles of H₂O, formation of 5 moles of CO₂ will also take place.

Balance the equation: "Sodium oxide reacts with water to form sodium hydroxide and hydrogen." I can't find the correct coefficients to balance the equation. I have written my unbalanced equation in the file attached.

Answers

Answer:

So, sodium oxide + water = sodium hydroxide + hydrogen is written Na2O+H2O-->NaOH+H.

To balance the equation it should read NaO+H2O-->2NaOH

Explanation:

Na2O+H2O-->2NaOH+0H2.......the 0H2 is dropped because there is no value

The correct balance of equation will be

Na2O + H2O - - > 2NaOH

What is a balanced chemical equation?

A chemical equation where the number of atoms on both the reactant side and the product side of the reaction are equal is called a balanced chemical equation.

In a balanced chemical equation, not only the number of atoms but the charge and the mass is the same on both sides of the equation.

A chemical equation needs to be balanced to validate the law of conservation of mass. The law of conservation of mass states that the 'mass can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction'.

If the chemical equation is not balanced, it will go against the fundamental law of law of conservation of mass.

Thus, the chemical equations need to be balanced.

Therefore to balanced the given chemical equation, we equate the number of atoms on both the reactant and the product side of the reaction.

It will be written as

Na2O + H2O - - > 2NaOH
