Answer:

Explanation:

a) The mass of the reactants is 2.36 grams, and the mass of the products is 1.57 grams plus the mass of the carbonic acid. Thus, using the law of conservation of mass, we get the mass of the carbonic acid is 2.36 - 1.57 = 0.79 grams.

b) The gram-formula mass of sodium bicarbonate is 84.006 g/mol, meaning that 2.36/84.006 = 0.028 moles were consumed. Thus, this means that in theory, 0.014 moles of carbonic acid should have been produced, which would have a mass of (0.014)(62.024)=0.868 grams. Thus, the percentage yield is (0.79)/(0.868) * 100 = 91%

What happens to water when it warms above 4 C

xxMikexx [17]

At 4 °C, the clusters start forming. The molecules are still slowing down and coming closer together, but the formation of clusters makes the molecules be further apart. Thus, the density of water is a maximum at 4 °C.

Suppose you were preparing 1.0 L of a bleaching solution in a volumetric flask, and it calls for 0.21 mol of NaOCl. If all you h

yulyashka [42]

Answer:

0.256 L

Explanation:

We should use the following formula:

concentration (1) × volume (1) = concentration (2) × volume (2)

concentration (1) = 0.82 M NaOCl

volume (1) = ?

concentration (2) = 0.21 M NaOCl

volume (2) = 1 L

volume (1) = [concentration (2) × volume (2)] / concentration (1)

volume (1) = [0.21 / 1] / 0.82 = 0.256 L
