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

Explanation:
A sample of 0.562 g of carbon is burned in oxygen in a bomb calorimeter, producing carbon dioxide. Assume both the reactants and products are under standard state conditions, and that the heat released is directly proportional to the enthalpy of combustion of graphite. The temperature of the calorimeter increases from 26.74 °C to 27.93 °C. What is the heat capacity of the calorimeter and its contents?
Answer:
The correct answer is 15.54 kJ per degree C.
Explanation:
The enthalpy change for one mole of a substance, which combines or burns with the oxygen under the standard conditions, that is, at 25 degree C and 1 bar pressure is known as the standard molar enthalpy of combustion. The amount of heat transferred can be calculated by using the formula, q = mcΔT -------------(i)
Here q is the amount of heat transferred, c is the specific heat, ΔT is the change in temperature, and m is the mass of the substance. As in case of bomb calorimeter, mass if considered constant, thus, for calorimeter the equation mentioned will become, q = cΔT ---- (ii)
The standard molar enthalpy of combustion for carbon is -393.5 kJ/mol, that is, -393.5 kJ per mole of heat is generated by burning one mole of carbon. The molecular mass of carbon is 12 gram per mole.
Thus, the number of moles of carbon equivalent to 0.562 grams of carbon can be determined as,
Number of moles of carbon = mass / molecular mas
= 0.562 grams / 12 gram per mole
= 0.047 mol
The heat generated by burning 0.562 grams or 0.047 mole will be,
q = ΔH° × number of moles
= (-393.51 kJ/mol) × 0.047 mol
= -18.49 kJ, the negative sign shows that the heat is produced.
To find heat capacity of calorimeter, put the value of q as -18.49 kJ, for ΔT as (27.93 °C - 26.74 °C) in the equation (ii)
18.49 kJ = c × (27.93 - 26.74)
c = 18.49 kJ/1.19 °C
c = 15.54 kJ/°C

Scientists have changed the model of the atom as they have gathered new evidence. One of the atomic models is shown below. A purple ball in the center surrounded by overlapping concentric black ovals, each with a small green ball on each of the 6 ovals. What experimental evidence led to the development of this atomic model from the one before it? A few of the positive particles aimed at a gold foil seemed to bounce back. The colors of light emitted from heated atoms had very specific energies. Experiments with water vapor showed that elements combine in specific proportions. Cathode rays were bent in the same way whenever a magnet was brought near them.
Answer:
A few of the positive particles aimed at a gold foil seemed to bounce back.
Explanation:
Rutherford's experiment took the search for the structure of the atom a step further. In this experiment, a narrow beam of alpha particles emitted from a source was used to bombard a thin gold foil.
The scattering of the alpha particles was detected by a movable ZnS screen. It was found that most of the alpha particles followed a straight path through the gold foil but some were scattered through large angles and some even scattered backwards.
Following this experiment, Rutherford decided on his planetary model of the atom in which the nucleus is at the core of the atom with electrons moving round the nucleus in orbits. Rutherford was awarded a Nobel prize for this work.

Which are not particles that enable electrical conductivity?
Select one:
a. delocalised electrons
b. molecules
c. mobile ions
Answer:
The correct option is;
a. Delocalised electrons
Explanation:
The particles that enable electrical conductivity are the delocalised electrons
The metallic structure consists of identically shaped elements having positive ions that have a resultant alignment, surrounded by a vast array of deloclised electrons, which move freely in the metallic structure such that a metallic part usually has a high electrical conductivity.
Therefore, the freely moving delocalised electron in a metal give them the property of good conductors of electricity.

It is basic and has a pH of 10.9.
It is acidic and has a pH of 6.2.
It is basic and has a pH of 6.2.
Answer:
The answer is option BExplanation:
To solve the question above we must first find the pH of the solution using the formula
pH + pOH = 14
pOH = 3.1
So we have
pH + 3.1 = 14
pH = 14 - 3.1
pH = 10.9
Since it's pH is 10.9 the solution is a basic solution since it's pH lies in the basic region.

Explanation:
The following data were obtained from the question:
Energy required (Q) =...?
Mass (M) = 10000 g
Specific heat capacity (C) = 2.01 J/g°C
Overheating temperature (T2) = 121°C
Working temperature (T1) = 91°C
Change in temperature (ΔT) =.?
Change in temperature (ΔT) =T2 – T1
Change in temperature (ΔT) = 121 – 91
Change in temperature (ΔT) = 30°C
Finally, we shall determine the energe required to overheat the car as follow:
Q = MCΔT
Q = 10000 × 2.01 × 30
Q = 603000 J
Therefore, 603000 J of energy is required to overheat the car.
What mass of Fe(OH)3 is produced when 35 mL of 0.250 M Fe(NO3)3 solution is mixed with 55 mL of a 0.180 M
KOH solution? (this is a limiting reactant problem).
Answer:
0.35 g.
Explanation:
We'll begin by calculating the number of mole of Fe(NO3)3 in 35 mL of 0.250 M Fe(NO3)3 solution.
This is illustrated below:
Molarity of Fe(NO3)3 = 0.250 M
Volume = 35 mL = 35/1000 = 0.035 L
Mole of Fe(NO3)3 =?
Molarity = mole /Volume
0.250 = mole of Fe(NO3)3 / 0.035
Cross multiply
Mole of Fe(NO3)3 = 0.25 x 0.035
Mole of Fe(NO3)3 = 8.75×10¯³ mole
Next, we shall determine the number of mole of KOH in 55 mL of 0.180 M
KOH solution. This is illustrated below:
Molarity of KOH = 0.180 M
Volume = 55 mL = 55/1000 = 0.055 L
Mole of KOH =.?
Molarity = mole /Volume
0.180 = mole of KOH /0.055
Cross multiply
Mole of KOH = 0.180 x 0.055
Mole of KOH = 9.9×10¯³ mole.
Next, we shall write the balanced equation for the reaction. This is given below:
3KOH + Fe(NO3)3 —> Fe(OH)3 + 3KNO3
From the balanced equation above,
3 moles of KOH reacted with 1 mole of Fe(NO3)3 to produce 1 mole of Fe(OH)3.
Next, we shall determine the limiting reactant. This can be obtained as follow:
From the balanced equation above,
3 moles of KOH reacted with 1 mole of Fe(NO3)3.
Therefore, 9.9×10¯³ mole of KOH will react with = (9.9×10¯³ x 1)/3 = 3.3×10¯³ mole of Fe(NO3)3.
From the above illustration, we can see that only 3.3×10¯³ mole out of 8.75×10¯³ mole of Fe(NO3)3 given is needed to react completely with 9.9×10¯³ mole of KOH.
Therefore, KOH is the limiting reactant and Fe(NO3)3 is the excess reactant.
Next, we shall determine the number of mole of Fe(OH)3 produced from the reaction.
In this case, we shall use the limiting reactant because it will give the maximum yield of Fe(OH)3 as all of it is consumed in the reaction.
The limiting reactant is KOH and the mole of Fe(OH)3 produce can be obtained as follow:
From the balanced equation above,
3 moles of KOH reacted to produce 1 mole of Fe(OH)3.
Therefore, 9.9×10¯³ mole of KOH will react to produce = (9.9×10¯³ x 1)/3 = 3.3×10¯³ mole of Fe(OH)3.
Finally, we shall convert 3.3×10¯³ mole of Fe(OH)3 to grams. This can be obtained as follow:
Molar mass of Fe(OH)3 = 56 + 3(16 + 1) = 56 + 3(17) = 107 g/mol
Mole of Fe(OH)3 = 3.3×10¯³ mole
Mass of Fe(OH)3 =?
Mole = mass /Molar mass
3.3×10¯³ = Mass of Fe(OH)3 / 107
Cross multiply
Mass of Fe(OH)3 = 3.3×10¯³ x 107
Mass of Fe(OH)3 = 0.3531 ≈ 0.35 g.
Therefore, 0.35 g of Fe(OH)3 was produced from the reaction.

Sodium hydroxide and water will react at room temperature. What does this indicate about its activation energy? A. The activation energy is very low. B. The activation energy is at exactly 600 kJ. C. The activation energy is very high. D. The reaction cannot reach activation energy.
Answer:
The answer would be C.
Explanation:
I took a test with the same question.
The activation energy is very high. Hence, option C is correct.
What is activation energy?Activation energy is the sufficient amount of energy necessary to initiate a chemical reaction.
When sodium hydroxide (NaOH) dissolves in water, it is distributed into positively-charged sodium ions and negatively - charged hydroxide ions.
These cations and anions move around in the water, free and independent of each other, though cations tend to be surrounded more closely by anions and vice versa.
Hence, when sodium hydroxide and water will react at room temperature, the activation energy is very high.

Answer:
The evidence that demonstrated that the Chlorine in the stratosphere is believed to come primarily from CFCs ( Chlorofluorocarbons) rather than from natural sources such as volcanoes was due to the study conducted in which the amount of chlorine in the stratosphere over the past 20 years was measured and it was discovered that there was an increase over the years. This also corresponded with a rise in CFCs over the same period which shows that the chlorine in the stratosphere was from man made chemicals such as chlorofluorocarbons.
Chlorine in the stratosphere is primarily from man-made chemicals rather than from natural sources such as volcanoes is evident as follows;
Discussion;
Most of the chlorine in the stratosphere is there as a result of human activities, as the figure below illustrates.
Many compounds containing chlorine are released at the ground.
Volcanoes can emit large quantities of hydrogen chloride, but this gas is rapidly converted to hydrochloric acid, which dissolves in rain water, ice, and snow and does not reach the stratosphere.
