Activity b (continued from previous page) 3. gather data: experiment with a variety of initial concentrations of no2 and n2o4. for each set of initial concentrations, use the gizmo to determine the equilibrium concentrations of each substance.

nacl or sodium chloride is an ionic compound. this is because an ionic compound pertains to a compound that consists of positively and negatively charged ions. in this case, na (sodium) has a tendency to lose one electron when it reacts with with other atoms, so the resulting sodium ion contains 11 protons and 10 electrons, thus making it positively charged (na+), when chlorine reacts, it usually gains one electron to form an ion called chloride, thus making it negatively charged ( since the ions are oppositely charged, they attract.
