The masses of the components are obtained as;

  • Sodium hydrogen carbonate = 3.51 g
  • Sodium carbonate =  8.708 g
<h3>What is decomposition?</h3>

The term decomposition has to do with the breakdown of the given substance into its components. The components of sodium hydrogen carbonate could be identified as water vapor, carbon dioxide gas and sodium carbonate. Among these products that have been listed here, we can see that it is only the sodium carbonate that remains as a solid. The others are gases that move away from the system that is under study.

Now putting down the equation of the reaction, we have;

2NaHCO_{3} (s) ----- > Na_{2} CO_{3} (s) + CO_{2} (g) + H_{2} O(g)

Now, the loss in  mass must be due to the carbon dioxide and the water. Hence we obtain the loss in mass to be 10.000 g -  8.708 g = 1.292 g

Mass of sodium hydrogen carbonate = 2 * 88 g/mol * 1.292 g/62 g/mol

= 3.51 g

Nitrogen (N2) and hydrogen (H2) react to form ammonia (NH3). Consider a mixture of six nitrogen molecules and six hydrogen molec
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

a)  No molecules of hydrogen

b) four molecules of ammonia

c) four left molecules of nitrogen.

Explanation:

The balanced reaction between nitrogen and hydrogen molecules to give ammonia molecules is:

N_{2}(g)+3H_{2}(g) -->2NH_{3}

Thus one molecule of nitrogen will react with three molecules of hydrogen to give two molecules of ammonia.

We have six molecules of each nitrogen and hydrogen in the closed container and they undergo complete reaction it means the limiting reagent is hydrogen. For six molecules of nitrogen, eighteen molecules of hydrogen will be required.

So six molecules of hydrogen will react with two molecules of nitrogen to give four molecules of ammonia.

The product mixture will have

a) No molecules of hydrogen

b) four molecules of ammonia

c) four left molecules of nitrogen.
