Here are some qualitative properties of sodium: it is a soft, silvery white metal which is highly reactive. It burns very energetically and also reacts violently with water (forming sodium hydroxide and hydrogen). It can only be stored safely in oil, which insulates it from both air and water. It is a necessary element for human biochemistry, and forms a part of table salt, which is sodium chloride.

Here are some quantitative properties of sodium: the sodium atom has only one stable isotope which contains 11 protons and 12 neutrons and of course 11 electrons. It has one electron in its outer shell.

What is an example of a quantitative observation and a qualitative observation?

A quantitative observation involves looking at the numerical aspects and properties of a substance. For instance, there are are 3.0 grams of sodium chloride in this weighboat. A qualitative observation is any observation that involves the qualities outside of the numerical aspects. For example, the sodium chloride is white.


What is the different between quantitative and qualitative measures?

If I had a 25% solution of sodium chloride and I did a quantitative measurement, the interest would be in HOW MUCH was present. In this case it would be 25%. If I did a qualitative measurement, all we would be interested in is - WHAT IS PRESENT. In this case sodium chloride and water. In simple terms, qualitative is "What is present" and quantitative is "How much is present"


What is the analytical method for qualitative and quantitative analysis of sodium?

There are several analytical methods to identify sodium both qualitatively and quantitatively. To name just a few, since sodium is a metal, any analysis for metals including ICP (inductively coupled plasma) or XRF (X-ray diffraction) will identify sodium. Also, since sodium can exist as a charged ion, ion chromatography is another possibility.


What is the chemical formula for quantitative Benedict's reagent?

Benedict's reagent is an aqueous solution of copper (II) sulfate, sodium carbonate, sodium citrate dihydrate and 2,5-difluorotoluene.


Which one is for measuring qualitative or quantitative?

A qualitative measurement is just that- it measures the quality of something, or rather it's more of a physical observation. So say you were observing a sunflower. Yellow would be a qualitative measurement. The texture of the petals(smooth). All things that would qualify as sort of observations. Qualitative "measurement" actually uses no numbers at all.
