Is it a chemical or physical change if a piece of ice melts and reacts with sodium?
Melting is a physical process; reaction with sodium is a chemical process.
Why sodium is burnt in air?
Sodium does not react easily with oxygen at a room temperature so it has to be heated up a little for the reaction to start. Since air is mostly oxygen once the reaction starts it gets pretty violent and the piece of sodium explode.
When a piece of copper is placed in a lead nitrate solution what will happen?
No Reaction Occurs (:
What would you would expect to see if a small piece of sodium was added to cold water?
A violent reaction occur and hydrogen is released.
When a piece of sodium is put into water do you expect it to sink or float?
The density of sodium is 0.968g/cm3 which is just slightly lower than that of water, which is 1.00g/cm3. When sodium is added to water, the piece of sodium would float and sometimes dart around the sides of the beaker. It is a violent reaction and the heat evolved from the exothermic reaction is sufficient to ignite the hydrogen gas and cause the sodium to burn.
Is a piece of steel rusting a chemical reaction?
Yes. Rusting is a chemical reaction between iron and oxygen.
What is a word equation for the reaction of sodium and water?
Sodium reacts exothermically with water. When it reacts small pea-sized pieces will bounce across the surface of the water until they are consumed by it, whereas large pieces will explode. While sodium reacts with water at room temperature, the sodium piece melts with the heat of the reaction to form a sphere, if the reacting sodium piece is large enough. The reaction with water produces very caustic sodium hydroxide and highly flammable hydrogen gas.
Process to make homemade table salt?
1-Take some sodium, some chlorine gas, and some sand. (The amount of the salt you'll get will be as same as the sodium you used) 2-Put the sand and the chlorine in a lab glass. (Preferably Florence of Erlenmeyer type) 3-Cut a piece of sodium and put it in. (Not a huge piece, it's gonna make an exothermic reaction, that means it's gonna BURN!) 4-Drop some drops of water on the sodium, cover the flask and back up. (FAST!) 5-Wait for the reaction to happen. It's gonna burn for a little while. 6-You have your salt. 2Na(s)+Cl2(g)=2NaCl(s)
What would happen if a piece of potassium is cut off?
Well if u cut a piece nothing will happen because it is by itself if u cut it with a blade with another substance like hydrochloric acid than a reaction will happen( lights up ) but I there is no other substances mixing with it that nothing will happen
What is the balanced equation between sodium and ethanol?
They both have OH. However, in sodium hyrdroxide, the OH- group is attached to the Na+ by an ionic bond. When dissolved it water, OH- would become free ions. On the other hand, in alcohol, the OH is attached to a carbon atom by a covalent bond. It is not an ion. Therefore is would not dissociate in water.
What is the balanced equation for Na Cl gives Na cl?
The balanced equation would beNa + Cl -> NaCl Basically this reaction can be done by plunging a piece of sodium into a glass gas filled with chlorine gas. A lot of heat is produced in this reaction.
A piece of sodium that's dropped into a beaker of water?
when sodium is dropped into water sodium hydroxide is produced leaving out hydrogen.
