You want to help your little brother make an exploding volcano for his science class. The lava will be made from reacting baking

soda (NaHCO3) with vinegar (HC2H3O2). After building the volcano, you know that you want to create about 100.0g of lava (or sodium acetate, NaC2H3O2). Too little lava, and the volcano won’t overflow. Too much lava would be a giant mess! Using stoichiometry and the equation below, calculate the exact amount of baking soda needed to make 100.0g of lava. Assume you have excess vinegar.NaHCO3 + HC2H3O2 → NaC2H3O2 + H2O + CO2

Answer:

  • <u>102.4g</u>

<u></u>

Explanation:

1. Balanced chemical equation

    NaHCO_3+HC_2H_3O_2\longrightarrow NaC_2H_3O_2+H_2O+CO_2

2. Number of moles of lava

  • #moles = mass in grams / molar mass
  • molar mass of NaC₂H₃O₂ = 82.0343 g/mol
  • #moles = 100.0g / 82.0343g/mol = 1.2190mol

3. Number of moles of NaHCO₃

  • Mole ratio

From the balanced chemical equation every mole of baking soda (NaHCO₃) produces one mole of lava (NaC₂H₃O₂). Thus, to produce 1.2190 moles of lava, 1.2190 moles of NaHCO₃ are required.

4. Mass of bakind soda required

Convert 1.2190 moles of NaHCO₃ into mass:

  • mass = number of moles × molar mass
  • molar mass of NaHCO₃ = 84.007 g/mol
  • mass = 1.2190 mol × 84.007g/mol = 102.4g ← answer

Ethylene glycol (antifreeze) has a density of 1.11 g/cm3. What is the mass in grams of 385 mL of this liquid?
Makovka662 [10]
Cm^3 = mL

1.11 g/cm^3 = 1.11 g/mL

Density (g/mL) multiplied by volume (mL) will give us the mass (g)

1.11 g/mL * 385 mL = 427.35 g

And since we have 3 significant figures, we have 427. g.

Hey! needing some help with this
klemol [59]

Answer:  Holmium-165 = Er-165 + electron

Explanation:

Beta decay is the decay of a neutron into a proton and electron.  This will increase the number of protons in the Holmium nucleus by one, making it Er, Erbium, with the same atomic mass.  

Holmium-165 = Er-165 + electron

The mass is essentially the same, as the proton is assigned the same mass as the neutron it came from.
