There are 0.566 moles of carbonate in sodium carbonate.
<h3>CALCULATE MOLES:</h3>
- The number of moles of carbonate (CO3) in sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) can be calculated by dividing the mass of carbonate in the compound by the molar mass of the compound.
- no. of moles of CO3 = mass of CO3 ÷ molar mass of Na2CO3
- Molar mass of Na2CO3 = 23(2) + 12 + 16(3)
- = 46 + 12 + 48 = 106g/mol
- mass of CO3 = 12 + 48 = 60g
- no. of moles of CO3 = 60/106
- no. of moles of CO3 = 0.566mol
- Therefore, there are 0.566 moles of carbonate in sodium carbonate.

Lets take a moment to list all the characteristics of the group 18 (also known as noble gases and/or group 8) elements:
- They have 8 valence electrons.
- Don't need ANY more electrons because their octet is full (stable).
- Are stable
- Not reactive
- Known as the noble gases
Now.. lets take some time to think about why elements want to form ions:
Elements form ions to either gain or lose valence electrons to the element they bond with. This helps them GAIN a full octet. What is a full octet, you may ask? An octet is when an element has all 8 valence electrons and is stable, making it nonreactive.
Why would an element with a full octet want to bond? It already has a full octet, it does not need to bond.
That, my fellow Brainly user, is why the noble gases do not need to bond.
I really do hope this helps! Enjoy, and good luck on the studies.
