Answer:  subscript 3 mean 3 oxygen atoms

Explanation:  NaHCO3 is an ionic compound which when dissolved in water gets dissociated into its constituent ions that are Na+ and HCO3- .

Thus the subscript 3 explains the number of oxygen that are attached to the carbon in the hydrogen carbonate ion.

The structure of the following is given below -

Complete combustion of 7.50 g of a hydrocarbon produced 23.1 g of CO2 and 10.6 g of H2O. What is the empirical formula for the h
r-ruslan [8.4K]
A CH compound is combusted to produce CO2 and H2O 
CnHm + O2 -----> CO2 + H2O 
Mass of CO2 = 23.1g
 Mass of H2O = 10.6g
 Calculate by mass of the compounds
 For Carbon C, divide by molecular weight of CO2 and multiply with Carbon
molecular weight. So C in grams = 23.1 x (12.01 / 44.01) = 6.3 g C
 For Hydrogen H, divide by molecular weight of H2O and multiply with Hydrogen molecular weight. So H in grams = 10.6 x (2.01 / 18.01) = 0.53 g C
= 1.18 of H
 Calculate the moles for C and H
 6.3 grams of C x (1 mole/12.01 g C) = 0.524 moles of C
 1.18 grams of H x (1 mole/1.008 g H) = 1.17 moles of H
 Divides by both mole entities with smallest
 C = 0.524 / 0.524 = 1 x 4 = 4
 H = 1.17 / 0.524 = 2.23 x 4 = 10
 The empirical formula is C4H10.

A solution contains 0.60 mg/ml mn2+. what minimum mass of kio4 must me added to 5.00 ml of the solution in order to completely o
azamat
The given solution of Mn²⁺ is 0.60 mg/mL.
Hence mass of Mn²⁺ in 5 mL of solution = 0.60 mg/mL x 5 mL = 3 mg

Molar mass of Mn = 54.9 g/mol
Hence, moles of Mn²⁺ = 3 x 10⁻³ g / 54.9 g/mol = 5.46 x 10⁻⁵ mol

The balanced equation for the reaction is,
2Mn²⁺ + 5KIO₄ + 3H₂O → 2MnO₄⁻ + 5KIO₃ + 6H⁺

The stoichiometric ratio between Mn²⁺ and KIO₄ is 2 : 5

Hence, moles of KIO₄ reacted = 5.46 x 10⁻⁵ mol x (5 / 2)
                                                 = 13.65 x 10⁻⁵ mol
Molar mass of KIO₄ = 230 g/mol

Hence needed mass of KIO₄ = 13.65 x 10⁻⁵ mol x 230 g/mol
                                               = 0.031395 g
                                               = 31.395 mg
                                               ≈ 31.4 mg
