When nahco3 completely decomposes, it can follow this balanced chemical equation: 2nahco3 → na2co3 h2co3 determine the theoretic

BigorU [14]

Theoretical yield = 2.397

The product could be sodium carbonate

percent yield = 98.456%

When nahco3 completely decomposes, it can follow this balanced chemical equation:

2nahco3 → na2co3 h2co3

If the mass of the NaHCO3 sample is 3.80 g, we must use stoichiometry to calculate the theoretical yields of each of the products.

mass of NaHCO₃ = 3.80 g

molar mass of NaHCO₃ = 84 g/mol

so the no of moles of NaHCO₃ = 3.80/84 = 0.0452 mol

You see, one mole of sodium carbonate and one mole of hydrogen carbonate are produced from two moles of sodium bicarbonate.

so, the no of moles of sodium carbonate = 0.0452/2 = 0.0226 mol

∴ mass of sodium carbonate ( Na₂CO₃) = no of moles of Na₂CO₃ × molar mass of Na₂CO₃

= 0.0226 × 106 ≈ 2.397 g

no of moles of hydrogen carbonate = 0.0452/2 = 0.0226 mol

mass of the hydrogen carbonate ( H₂CO₃) = no of moles of H₂CO₃ × molar mass of H₂CO₃

= 0.0226 × 62 g = 1.401 g

mass of one of the products was measured to be 2.36 g , from above data, we can say it must be sodium carbonate because value is the nearest of 2.397 g.

percentage yield = experimental yield/theoretical yield × 100

here experimental yield of Na₂CO₃ = 2.36 g

and theoretical yield of Na₂CO₃ = 2.397 g

∴ % yield = 2.36/2.397 × 100 ≈ 98.456%

Therefore the percentage yield of the product is 98.456%

Elemental Li and Na are prepared by electrolysis of a molten salt, whereas K, Rb, and Cs are prepared by chemical reduction.(c)

pishuonlain [190]

Calcium is used to isolate Rb from molten RbX because calcium has a smaller atomic radius than rubidium.

A chemical element's atomic radius, which is typically the average or typical distance between the nucleus's core and the outermost isolated electron, serves as a gauge for the size of an atom. There are numerous non-equivalent definitions of atomic radius since the border is not a clearly defined physical entity. Van der Waals radius, ionic radius, metallic radius, and covalent radius are the four most frequently used definitions of atomic radius. Atomic radii are typically measured in a chemically bound condition since it is challenging to isolated individual atoms in order to measure their radii individually.

(6 points) Calculate the maximum number of moles and grams of H2S that can form when 158 g of aluminum sulfide reacts with 131 g

Schach [20]

Answer:107.1 g, 124.1 g

Explanation:

The equation of the reaction is;

Al2S3(s) + 6H20(l) ----> 2Al(OH)3(s) + 3H2S(g)

Hence;

For Al2S3

Number of moles= reacting mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 158g/150gmol-1 =1.05 moles

If 1 mole of Al2S3 yields 3 moles of H2S

1.05 moles of Al2S will yield

1.05 × 3/1 = 3.15 moles

Mass of H2S = 3.15moles × 34 gmol-1 = 107.1 g

For water

Number of moles of water = 131g/18gmol-1= 7.3 moles

6 moles of water yields 3 moles of H2S

7.3 moles of water will yield 7.3 × 3/6 = 3.65 moles of H2S

3.65 moles × 34 gmol-1 =124.1 g

What is the significance of wanting to know what the pH of a solution is?

balu736 [363]

pH is an important parameter for many reactions to take place in solution and in biological systems. It is related to the concentration of H⁺ ions through the following expression:

pH = 1/[H⁺] = -log [H⁺]

Wanting to know the pH of a solution is equivalent to knowing the amount of hydrogen ions present. But the pH scale is more convenient than the concentration scale because pH usually takes values between 0 and 14.

When pH < 7 the solution is acid.
When pH = 7 the solution is neutral (like pure water).
When pH > 7 the solution is basic.

What element is reduced in the following reaction?

riadik2000 [5.3K]

the oxidation states of the elements before and after the reaction is;
Pb oxidation state changes from 0 to +2
SO₄²⁻ ion there's no change in the oxidation state during the reaction
Au oxidation state changes from +3 to 0
reduction reactions are when there's a decrease in the oxidation state of the species
oxidation reactions are when theres an increase in the oxidation state of the species
the element where there's a decrease in oxidation state is Au.
Therefore Au gets reduced.
answer is B) Au
