What will happen if a solution of sodium hydrocarbonate is heated give the equation of the reaction involved.

1 answer:

7 0

If heated, a decomposition reaction takes place. Sodium hydrocarbonate decompose to sodium carbonate, carbon(IV) oxide and water.

Balanced chemical equation of heating sodium bicarbonate:

2NaHCO₃ → Na₂CO₃ + CO₂ + H₂O

NaHCO₃ is sodium hydrocarbonate

Na₂CO₃ is sodium carbonate

CO₂ is carbon(IV) oxide

H₂O is water

This is chemical change (chemical reaction), because new substances are formed (sodium carbonate, carbon(IV) oxide and water), the atoms are rearranged, so there is no sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO₃) in the test tube.

Decomposition is reaction where one substance is broken down into two or more simpler substances.

You used a calorimeter in the heat transfer lab. Explain how the calorimeter works, and how to calculate the heat given off or a

Butoxors [25]

A calorimeter contains reactants and a substance to absorb the heat absorbed. The initial temperature (before the reaction) of the heat absorbent is measured and then the final temperature (after the reaction) is also measured. The absorbent's specific heat capacity and mass are also known. Given all of this data, the equation:
Q = mcΔT

How many grams of lithium hypochlorite (LiClO) are there in 0.594 moles?

Flauer [41]

Answer : The mass of lithium hypochlorite are, 34.7 grams.

Explanation : Given,

Moles of $LiClO$ = 0.594 g

Molar mass of $LiClO$ = 58.4 g/mol

Expression used :

$\text{ Mass of }LiClO=\text{ Moles of }LiClO\times \text{ Molar mass of }LiClO$

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get:

$\text{ Mass of }LiClO=(0.594moles)\times (58.4g/mole)$

$\text{ Mass of }LiClO=34.7g$

Therefore, the mass of lithium hypochlorite are, 34.7 grams.

Which isotope will spontaneously decay and emit particles with a charge of +2?

VikaD [51]

Answer: The correct option is 4.

Explanation: All the options will undergo some type of radioactive decay processes. There are 3 decay processes:

1) Alpha decay: It is a decay process in which alpha particle is released which has has a mass number of 4 and a charge of +2.

$_Z^A\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z-2}^{A-4}\textrm{Y}+_2^4\alpha$

2) Beta-minus decay: It is a decay in which a beta particle is released. The beta particle released has a mass number of 0 and a charge of (-1).

$_Z^A\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z+1}^A\textrm{Y}+_{-1}^0\beta$

3) Beta-plus decay: It is a decay process in which a positron is released. The positron released has a mass number of 0 and has a charge of +1.

$_Z^A\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z-1}^A\textrm{Y}+_{+1}^0\beta$

For the given options:

Option 1: This nuclei will undergo beta-plus decay process to form $_{25}^{53}\textrm{Mn}$

$_{26}^{53}\textrm{Fe}\rightarrow _{25}^{53}\textrm{Mn}+_{+1}^0\beta$

Option 2: This nuclei will undergo beta-minus decay process to form $_{80}^{198}\textrm{Hg}$

$_{79}^{198}\textrm{Au}\rightarrow _{80}^{198}\textrm{Hg}+_{-1}^0\beta$

Option 3: This nuclei will undergo a beta minus decay process to form $_{56}^{137}\textrm{Ba}$

$_{55}^{137}\textrm{Cs}\rightarrow _{56}^{137}\textrm{Ba}+_{-1}^0\beta$

Option 4: This nuclei will undergo an alpha decay process to form $_{85}^{216}\textrm{At}$

$_{87}^{220}\textrm{Fr}\rightarrow _{85}^{216}\textrm{At}+_2^4\alpha$

Hence, the correct option is 4.
