Why is argon atmosphere used when the titanium chloride is reacted with sodium or magnesium?
To prevent the magnesium or sodium reacting with oxygen in the air
Why is sodium put in oil?
Sodium is very reactive in water. Thus to prevent it from reacting with air and water, it is stored in oil.
Will sodium and calcium form an ionic bond?
Yes when reacting with a nonmetal like oxygen or chlorine No when reacting with each other or other metals and hydrogen
Why is a tin-plated steel pan used for jam making?
To prevent it from reacting with oxygen and rusting.
What is the equation for sodium reacting with water?
Sodium reacting with water is: 2Na + 2H2O ----> 2NaOH + H2
Why is argon atmosphere used when the titanium chloride is reacted with sodium or magnesium?
To prevent the magnesium or sodium reacting with oxygen in the air
How kerosene keep sodium from reacting with air?
Oxygen (which react with sodium) is not dissolved in kerosene.
What happens when you cut sodium or potassium?
When you cut the likes of sodium or potassium it leaves a shiny surface which will quickly turn dull as they react with Oxygen in the air. To prevent them reacting with any of the air, these elements are usually kept in oil.
Why is sodium put in oil?
Sodium is very reactive in water. Thus to prevent it from reacting with air and water, it is stored in oil.
How is oxygen prepared using sodium peroxide?
It is made by reacting it with carbon dioxide it forms sodium carbonate and oxygen. This makes it useful in scrubbing carbon dioxide and producing oxygen in submarines.
Will sodium and calcium form an ionic bond?
Yes when reacting with a nonmetal like oxygen or chlorine No when reacting with each other or other metals and hydrogen
Why is Sodium Chloride considered a compound but oxygen gas is not?
Sodium Chloride is considered a compound because there are two different elements reacting in that compound. Oxygen gas is not considered a compound because oxygen is an element.
Why is a tin-plated steel pan used for jam making?
To prevent it from reacting with oxygen and rusting.
What is the equation for sodium reacting with water?
Sodium reacting with water is: 2Na + 2H2O ----> 2NaOH + H2
What happens when Sodium dissolve in liquid ammonia?
Sodium is not reacting with liquid ammonia. But it is reacting with Aquas ammonia.
Why do sodium need to be stored in oil?
Because they are highly reactive as they react with oxygen and moisture with self ignition (burning flames) even at room temperature.
Where does sodium benzoate come from?
Sodium benzoate is manufactured by reacting benzoic acid with sodium hydroxide. Benzoic acid is produced by partial oxydation of toluene with oxygen. There are half a dozen ways or more ways to make toluene.
