Hey there!

We balance chemical equations because of the law of conservation of mass.

The law of conservation of mass states that matter cannot be created or destroyed, so we must have the same amount of each element on each side of a chemical equation.

The products of a chemical reaction must be equal to the reactants to follow the law of conservation of mass.

Hope this helps!

Given that the molar mass of NaNO3 is 85.00 g/mol, what mass of NaNO3 is needed to make 4.50 L of a 1.50 M NaNO3 solution?

marissa [1.9K]

Mass = molarity x molar mass( NaNO₃) x volume

mass = 1.50 x 85.00 x 4.50

mass = 573.75 g of NaNO₃

hope this helps!

Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

For a: The chemical equation for the dissolution of sodium carbonate is $Na_2CO_3(s)\rightarrow Na_2CO_3(aq.)$

For b: The net acid-base reaction is $CO_3^{2-}(aq.)+H_2O(l)\rightarrow OH^-(aq.)+HCO_3^-(aq.)$

Explanation:

For a:

Dissolution reaction is defined as the reaction in which a solid compound gets dissolved in water to form aqueous solution.

The chemical equation for the dissolution of sodium carbonate follows:

$Na_2CO_3(s)\rightarrow Na_2CO_3(aq.)$

Ionization reaction is defined as the reaction in which an ionic compound dissociates into its ions when dissolved in aqueous solution.

The chemical equation for the ionization of sodium carbonate follows:

$Na_2CO_3(aq.)\rightarrow 2Na^+(aq.)+CO_3^{3-}(aq.)$

For b:

Now, the anion formed which is $CO_3^{2-}$ reacts with water to form conjugate acid.

The chemical equation for the reaction of anion with water follows:

$CO_3^{2-}(aq.)+H_2O(l)\rightarrow OH^-(aq.)+HCO_3^-(aq.)$

Hence, the net acid-base reaction of the anion formed and water is written above.
