Distillation is the process of boiling and condensing a mixture of liquids in a closed system, allowing the products to escape. This can separate products because the one with the lower boiling point will...

K + H₂O --> KOH + H_2Both potassium and sodium possess one electron in their outer shell. Both elements readily give up this unpaired electron and so for this reason are considere...

Calculate Mr(NaOH): Mr(NaOH) = 23 + 16 + 1 = 40, Calculate NaOH moles: n= m/Mr, n= 8.0/40, n= 0.2 moles, Calculate NaOH concentration:(converting from cm³ to dm³ by /1000) c= n/v, c=...

Sodium Chloride has a high melting point, as it has a giant ionic lattice hence has strong electrostatic forces of attraction between oppositely charged ions, which requires lots of energy to overcome the...

Balancing equations will become natural if you do it long enough but takes a bit of practice and can be tedious! It can be a bit of trial and error at times. It is important to remember that numbers of el...
