Which of the following best describes the difference between metals and nonmetals? a
metals tend to have low melting points and nonmetals have high melting points
b
nonmetals are more reactive than metals
c
metals are brittle and dull
d
metals have high melting points and are malleable, whereas, nonmetals have lower melting points and tend to be brittle.

the answer is d.

Explanation:

because metals are refers to natural elements that are hard, shiney, opaque, and dense. nonmetals implies thise chemical substances that are soft, non-shiney, transparent and brittle.

given:

mass of na = 115 g

excess cl2

to determine:

mass of nacl produced

explanation:

given reaction is-

2na(s) + cl2(g) → 2nacl(s)

since cl2 is in excess, na will be the limiting reagent

as per the reaction stoichiometry na: nacl = 1: 1

i.e. moles of na reacted = moles of nacl formed

now, # moles of na = mass of na/atomic mass

                                  = 115 g/23 g.mol-1 = 5 moles

therefore, moles of nacl = 5

molar mass of nacl = 58 g/mol

mass of nacl = 5 moles * 58 g.mol-1 = 290 g

ans: amount of nacl produced = 290 g
