Question

Circle the questions that have been assigned. Sodium metal is also readily oxidized by oxygen. It the product of the would be the color of the litmus for a litmus test? Explain. What is the product? Oxygen gas has an oxidizing strength comparable to that of nitric acid. coating that forms on copper metal in the environment. Account tor its formation. Test tube 7. Does the ferrous ion in the Fe(NH_4)_2(SO_4)_2 solutions function as agent? Explain. Test tube 8. What was the color change of the I~ in the reaction? Does the I~ solution function as an oxidizing agent or a reducing agent? Explain. Eliseo couldn't find the 6 M HCl and so used 6 M HNO_3 for testing the strong acids. Explain how the results of the experiment would have been different. Single displacement, double displacement, and decomposition reactions the type of redox reactions in Part C. Explain. On the basis of your intuitive understanding of the chemical properties of sodium

Explanation / Answer

1. Sodium metal burns in air to form sodium oxide(limited air) or sodium peroxide (excess air).

2Na+O2=Na2O2(sodium peroxide)

Sodium peroxide is basic in nature and hence would turn red litmus blue. And no effect on blue litmus.
