When sodium and oxygen react they will produce sodium oxide. write and balance the complete chemical equation that describes this reaction.

 The  balanced chemical  equation  when sodium and  oxygen react is  as below

4 Na + O₂  → 2 Na₂O

  Explanation

From equation above 4  moles of  sodium (Na) react  with 1  mole   of oxygen (O₂)  to produce sodium oxide ( Na₂O)

Since there  is equal  number  number of atoms   in  side  of reactants  and    in the side  of product  the  equation  is balanced.

For  example there is 4 atoms of Na in side of reactant and 4  in side  of product.

hey there!

boiling point is the temperature at which the vapor pressure of the liquid equals atmospheric pressure. the vapor pressure of solvent molecules is decreased when a solute is added, so a higher temperature is required to increase the number of solvent molecules in the gas phase above the liquid.

at the freezing point, the vapor pressures of the solid and liquid are equal; a lower temperature is needed to reduce the number of solvent particles above the liquid.

hope this you
