What else can I help you with?
If you were to make sodium hydroxide from an oxide what oxide would you use?
Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) is formed.
Why can sodium not be used to make a container in which to boil water?
Sodium is highly reactive with water, producing explosive reactions and potentially catching fire. Therefore, using sodium to make a container to boil water would be dangerous and impractical due to the risk of accidents and the potential harm it can cause.
Why calcium is not used as water pipes?
Calcium is not used as water pipes because it is a very reactive metal that easily forms compounds with oxygen and water, leading to corrosion. This corrosion can weaken the pipes and contaminate the water passing through. Therefore, materials like copper, PVC, or galvanized steel are commonly used for water pipes instead.
Why would you not build a car out of sodium?
Sodium is highly reactive with water, which can lead to fire or explosion. This makes it unsuitable for use in a car as it would pose a significant safety risk. Additionally, sodium is a soft metal, so it would not provide the necessary strength and durability needed for vehicle construction.
What is the reaction between water phenolphaline gasoline and sodium?
The reaction between water, phenolphthalein, gasoline, and sodium would result in a violent chemical reaction due to the highly reactive nature of sodium with water. The sodium would react vigorously with water, producing hydrogen gas and sodium hydroxide. This reaction could potentially ignite the gasoline in the presence of oxygen, leading to a fire or explosion. It is highly dangerous and should not be attempted.
Why do bakers add a pinch of sodium while making sweet chocolate tart?
If they added a pinch of "sodium", that would probably be dangerous...sodium and water = an explosive reaction.
Why would a town add sodium hydroxide to its water supply?
If your water system is one that does water softening, than the sodium Hydroxide (also called caustic soda or lye) would be used to raise the PH before going into a softening tank. With a higher PH the mineral in the water will stick to something like sand that is added to the tank. The sand will get heaver and can be dropped out. Sodium hydroxide is also used in making soft drinks, chocolate and other foods.
Why would the water pipes in the ceiling rattle when you turn on the water?
Water Hammer.
How would recycled water be delivered to your house?
pipes
If you were to make sodium hydroxide from an oxide what oxide would you use?
Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) is formed.
What is the Product of sodium hydrogen carbonate and stearic acid?
The reaction between sodium hydrogen carbonate and stearic acid would likely produce sodium stearate, water, and carbon dioxide. Sodium stearate is a type of soap that can be used in various applications such as in making cosmetics or cleaning products.
Why is iron not used on drain pipes?
Iron rusts easily when combined with water, and drain pipes have water flowing through them. If iron was used, the pipes would rust within a few days.
Should you insulate swimming pool pipes underground?
I see no reason why you would insulate them. When you close your pool for winter you will purge (empty) your pump and pipes. The water in the pool would freeze long before the water will in the pipes under ground.
What occurs when sodium enters water?
When soidium enters water it forms a solution. The sodium would be the solute and the water is the solvent.
Why water is not used in sodium fire?
Sodium and water are HIGHLY reactive. It would only compound the problem.
What would you observe if you mixed sodium carbonate and water?
If you mix sodium carbonate and water, you would observe that the sodium carbonate dissolves in the water. This is because sodium carbonate is highly soluble in water. The solution may also become slightly warm due to the dissolution process.
If you heated a mixture of sodium chloride and water would the water evaporate and leave the sodium behing?
Yes, it is true.
