Seeing signs of a chemical reaction does not always mean that a reaction is happening. For example, a gas (water vapor) is given off when water boils. ... You can tell that it is a physical change because water vapor can condense to form liquid water. In a chemical change, a new substance must be produced.
The best answer among the choices is option D. New substances are being formed will best explain that this process is a chemical change. Although, it cannot be seen directly we knew that an acid and base will undergo neutralization reaction forming a salt and water. The heat given off by the reaction can be a parameter however it does not only happens for reactions. It can also happen when dissolving substances.
Answer:
The mole fraction of NaOH in an aqueous solution that contain 22.9% NaOH by mass=0.882
Explanation:
We are given that
Aqueous solution that contains 22.9% NaOH by mass means
22.9 g NaOH in 100 g solution.
Mass of NaOH(WB)=22.9 g
Mass of water =100-22.9=77.1
Na=23
O=16
H=1.01
Molar mass of NaOH(MB)=23+16+1.01=40.01
Number of moles =
Using the formula
Number of moles of NaOH
Molar mass of water=16+2(1.01)=18.02g
Number of moles of water
Now, mole fraction of NaOH
=
=0.882
Hence, the mole fraction of NaOH in an aqueous solution that contain 22.9% NaOH by mass=0.882
I might not be right but I think the empirical formula is NO2
