Why does the reaction between sodium and chlorine gives out a lot of heat and light?

Because the potential chemical energy of the product is much less than the potential chemical energy of the reactants. Since energy is indestructible, it is converted to heat and light.

Can water be classified as an Arrhenius acid and base?
it may be, because when sodium metal reacts with water it gives its OH- ions and when reacts with chlorine it gives its H+ ions.
Sodium hydroxide dissolves in water is?
Sodium hydroxide disassociates in water into a solution of Na+ and OH- ions. Itis an exothermic reaction which gives out heat.
What is Millard's reaction?
Millard's reaction is a chemical reaction between amino acids and reducing sugars. It is a non enzymatic reaction that gives browned foods their desirable flavor usually by the addition of heat. e.g. roast meat
Why is chlorine found in plastic?
Most of the plastics are polymers of vinyl chloride, chlorine gives the hardness to plastics.
How do you dechlorinate salt?
Through electrolysis. Have a 9V battery with probes attached on hand, and use a blowtorch or the highest temperature on your stove to melt the salt. Then, put the probes in the molten salt, and make sure you don't breath in the fumes it gives off (chlorine gas will kill you). You're left with pure sodium, which makes for some great pranks involving water. ;)Contrary to [un]popular belief, refining Sodium Chloride into Sodium is in fact dechlorination, because the chlorine is completely removed from the molecule.
Sodium and chlorine can bond together Sodium gives chlorine a needed electron What is chlorine's charge after accepting the electron?
-1
Sodium and chlorine can bond together. Sodium gives chlorine a needed electron. What is chlorine's charge after accepting the electron?
-1
What type of bond between sodium and chlorine?
An ionic bond as there is an actual transfer of electrons between the two elements in the product, Sodium Chloride. Sodium gives away one electron in order to become stable, i.e., get noble gas configuration and chlorine accepts that electron (given away by Sodium) to become stable. Thus, an ionic bond is formed between them.
Sodium and chlorine can bond together Sodium gives chlorine a needed electron What is chlorines charge after accepting the electron?
-1
What is the sodium that reacts with chlorine by giving its outermost electron to chlorine?
the sodium (Na) atom gives its single outermose electron to chlorine to form two ions of different charge.
What element gives salts their properties?
Salt is sodium chloride (NaCl) - containing sodium and chlorine.
When sodium gives one electron to chlorine?
It is called an ionic bond.
How can an atom of sodium an atom of chlorine form a molecule of sodium chloride?
sodium gives one electron to form sodium cation. chlorine accepts one electron to form chloride anion sodium chloride consists of an array or sodium ions and chloride ions
When sodium and chlorine atoms combine what happens to the electrons?
The sodium atom, Na, is ionized, giving it's electron to the chlorine, Cl. Therefore, one electron is transferred from the sodium to the chlorine, forming Na+ and Cl- ions and an ionic bond.
What happens when sodium bicarbonate is heated?
The reaction between HCL and Sodium Bicarbonate is an endothermic reaction, meaning that the product itself cools down and produces heat to its surroundings. Therefore, it does produce heat, but to its surroundings.
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.
Sodium and chlorine are in the same period on the periodic table explain the difference in their sizes?
Sodium is larger than chlorine because chlorine has more protons and outer level electrons which gives the positive nucleus a greater pull on the outer electrons.
