Concept explainers
Interpretation:
Ionic or covalent character of sodium hydride and the given reaction is Oxidation-reduction reaction and acid-base reactionshould be explained.
Concept introduction:
A molecule is neutral group of two or more atoms joined together by
Ionic compound is a composed of ions held together by electrostatic forces called as ionic bond. The compound is neutral, it is of consists positively charged ions called cations and negatively charged ions called anions.
Compounds of metals with nonmetals are usually called as ionic, nonmetal-nonmetal compounds are usually molecular.
The ion or molecule that accepts electrons is called the oxidizing agent and the species that donates electrons is called the reducing agent.
According to acid base theory, an acid gives the hydrogen (proton) ion and a base is accepting the hydrogen (proton).

- Give the formula for the acidic oxide of (a) HNO3 (b) HNO2 (c) H2SO4arrow_forwardThe amount of sodium hypochlorite in a bleach solution can be determined by using a given volume of bleach to oxidize excess iodide ion to iodine; ClO- is reduced to Cl-. The amount of iodine produced by the redox reaction is determined by titration with sodium thiosulfate, Na2S2O3; I2 is reduced to I-. The sodium thiosulfate is oxidized to sodium tetrathionate, Na2S4O6. In this analysis, potassium iodide was added in excess to 5.00 mL of bleach (d=1.00g/cm3) . If 25.00 mL of 0.0700 M Na2S2O3 was required to reduce all the iodine produced by the bleach back to iodide, what is the mass percent of NaClO in the bleach?arrow_forwardWhen carbon dioxide dissolves in water it reacts to produce carbonic acid, H2CO3(aq), which can ionize in two steps.
