A strong electrolyte dissociates completely into ions in aqueous solution. When sodium sulfite, a strong electrolyte, is put into water the cations and anions are surrounded by water molecules and the solid dissolves.
Na2SO3(s) 2Na+(aq) + SO32-(aq)
We represent this state by the symbol "(aq)" to indicate that the ions are in aqueous solution.
Alternative Answer:
Sodium peroxide and water undergo a double replacement reaction which is highly exothermic,
1 Na2O2 + 2 H2O --> 2 NaOH + 1 H2O2
such that the heat generated is sufficient to burn shredded paper.
The IUPAC name is hydrogen peroxide. Other, less common, names include dioxidane and dihydrogen dioxide If you let it sit out in open air, it will decompose into H2O and O2. 2H2O2 --> 2H2O + O2
Yes it is. Calcium atom loses electrons more readily in cell reactions than in reactions with air, water and dilute acids.
Hydrogen peroxide decomposes into water and oxygen.
The material most commonly called "hydrogen peroxide", especially by non-chemists, is a solution of the solute hydrogen peroxide in water as the solvent.
They react pretty violently with water. These elements have 1 valence electron with makes them very reactive. When they are put in the water they split the water molecule into Hydrogen gas and NaOH or LiOH, etc. Lithium, sodium and potassium while violent reactions are pretty mellow compared to the reactions of Rubidium, Cesium and Francium. Search google video for cesium reaction with water and you will see what i mean.
Water
Sodium carbonate peroxyhydrate (also called sodium percarbonate) is not the same as hydrogen peroxide -- but when it is dissolved in water, it releases hydrogen peroxide and sodium carbonate ("washing soda"). The sodium carbonate increases the bleaching action of the hydrogen peroxide. It also acts as a water softener, which makes any added detergent more effective. Sodium percarbonate is commonly used as a non-chlorine laundry bleach.
The exothermic reaction of sodium peroxide and water is as follows: Na2O2(s) + 2 H2O(l) --> 2 NaOH(aq) + H2O2(aq) The hydrogen peroxide, H2O2, that is produced quickly decomposes into water and oxygen gas due to the catalyzing influence of sodium hydroxide, NaOH.
Sodium hypochlorite is dissociated in water.
LiOH2 P2O5H2O
2Na2O2 + 2H2O yeilds 4NaOH + O2
14-log2
The substance that changes is the hydrogen peroxide. After it reacts, it forms bubbles of oxygen and water.
Compare the reactions with water of the elements sodium and magnesium
Sodium chloride, because it will dissolve in water with almost total ionization.
Sodium is a highly reactive metal. It reacts with water to give sodium hydroxide, and with carbon dioxide to give sodium carbonate. It the reaction with oxygen, the principal product is sodium peroxide.
sodium chloride (in aqueous solution or in molten state) is an electrolyte.
