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.

Choose two of the following scientists: Anton Lavoisier, John Dalton, JJ Thomson, Robert Millikan, Ernest Rutherford, James Chad
elixir [45]

Answer:

John Dalton:

John Dalton was the scientist who introduced atomic theory in the field of chemistry. Dalton worked on different gases and formulated this theory. The main points of Dalton's theory are:

  • Every element present is made up of atoms.
  • Atoms of an elements are have the same same properties whereas these properties are different for each element.
  • According to his theory, an atom could not be broken down.
  • Different atoms combine or get separated from each other during a chemical reaction.

Ernest Rutherford:

Ernest Rutherford is known as the father of nuclear physics due to his impressing research work on radioactivity of atoms. Rutherford was the first scientist to discover the nucleus of an atom and prove that the nucleus was charged. He also described that the electrons circle around the nucleus of an atom.

Myth: A dead organism is the same as a nonliving thing in science.<br><br> Fact:<br><br> Evidence:
Ilya [14]

I recently did this assignment!

Instructions: Read each myth (untruth). Reword it to make a factual statement. Then, give two to three reasons why the myth is untrue. Use complete sentences and support your answer with evidence, using your own words.  

________________________________________

Answer:

Myth: A dead organism is the same as a nonliving thing in science.

o Fact: In science, dead is the same as nonliving.

o Evidence: Things that are nonliving never had the characteristics of life, and never will. Things that are dead once did have the characteristics of life, but when they die, they lose some of the characteristics. That is why dead and non-living are NOT the same thing.

Hope this helped!

Have an Amazing day!

Which aldehyde is an intermediate in the reduction of ethyl benzoate with lithium aluminum hydride?
garri49 [273]

Answer:

tetrahedral aldehyde

Explanation:

  1. The reaction begins with a hydride nucleophile reacting with the ester carbonyl carbon to form the tetrahedral intermediate.
  1. The carbonyl reforms to produce an aldehyde with the loss of the alkoxide ion.
  2. The resulting aldehyde undergoes a subsequent reaction with a hydride nucleophile to form another tetrahedral intermediate. The carbonyl is not able to reform, because there are no stable leaving groups.
  3. Therefore, the tetrahedral intermediate is protonated to produce a primary alcohol.
