In a sand culture experiment we investigated the effects of boron (0.01, 0.19, 0.46 and 0.93 mol m⁻³ B, as H₃BO₃), sodium chloride (0, 100 and 200 mol m⁻³ NaCl) and combined B and NaCl, over 36 days, ...
In this video excerpt from NOVA's "Hunting the Elements," New York Times technology columnist David Pogue investigates chemical reactions involving sodium. Find out how the electron configuration of ...
A small piece of sodium metal is placed in a flask of chlorine gas. A little water helps expose the sodium so it can react with the chlorine gas. The reaction releases a lot of heat as the ionic ...
