Answer:
See attachment.
Explanation:
Elements that are in the same group will definitely possess similar characteristics because they tend to have the same valence electron which determines their reactivity.
On a periodic table, elements in the same group can be found arranged on the same column in the periodic table.
Therefore the two elements that have similar characteristics are those two elements you can see on the same column in group 2. See the two elements indicated in the attachment below.
Answer:
Option A.
2Na + 2H2O —> 2NaOH + H2
Explanation:
To know which option is correct, we shall do a head count of the number of atoms present on both side to see which of them is balanced. This is illustrated below below:
For Option A:
2Na + 2H2O —> 2NaOH + H2
Reactant >>>>>>> Product
2 Na >>>>>>>>>>> 2 Na
4 H >>>>>>>>>>>> 4 H
2 O >>>>>>>>>>>> 2 O
Thus, the above equation is balanced.
For Option B:
2Na + 2H2O —> NaOH + H2
Reactant >>>>>>> Product
2 Na >>>>>>>>>>> 1 Na
4 H >>>>>>>>>>>> 3 H
2 O >>>>>>>>>>>> 1 O
Thus, the above equation is not balanced.
For Option C:
2Na + H2O —> 2NaOH + H2
Reactant >>>>>>> Product
2 Na >>>>>>>>>>> 2 Na
2 H >>>>>>>>>>>> 4 H
1 O >>>>>>>>>>>> 2 O
Thus, the above equation is not balanced.
For Option D:
Na + 2H2O —> NaOH + 2H2
Reactant >>>>>>> Product
1 Na >>>>>>>>>>> 1 Na
4 H >>>>>>>>>>>> 5 H
2 O >>>>>>>>>>>> 1 O
Thus, the above equation is not balanced.
From the illustrations made above, only option A is balanced.
<h2>Let us predict the gas and liquid products in option </h2>
Explanation:
option 1 : 2 upper H g upper O (s) right arrow 2 upper H g (l) plus upper O subscript 2 (g).
Chemical reaction
It is the reactants react to form products .
Chemical equation
It is the method of representing reaction in terms of moles , specifying states , symbols , molecular formulas etc .
This actually gives the complete info about the reaction .
In the above asked question or any other question we can specify the states by writting :
Solid as "S".
Liquid as "L"
Gas as (g).
Plasma membrane is the answer
