What is the percent composition of NaHCO3?
zhuklara [117]

Answer:

                Option-C (27.36% Na, 1.20% H, 14.30% C, and 57.14% O)

Explanation:

<em>Percent Composition</em> is defined as the <u><em>%age by mass of each element present in a compound</em></u>. Therefore, it is a relative amount of each element present in a compound.

Calculating Percent Composition of NaHCO₃:

1: Calculating Molar Masses of all elements present in NaHCO₃:

              a) Na  =  22.99 g/mol

             b) H  =  1.01 g/mol

              c) C  =  12.01 g/mol

              d) O₃  =  16.0 × 3 =  48 g/mol

2: Calculating Molecular Mass of NaHCO₃:

              Na  =  22.99 g/mol

             H    =  1.01 g/mol

              C    =  12.01 g/mol

              O₃  =  48 g/mol

                       ----------------------------------  

Total                  84.01 g/mol

3: Divide each element's molar mass by molar mass of NaHCO₃ and multiply it by 100:

For Na:

                 =  22.99 g.mol⁻¹ ÷ 84.01 g.mol⁻¹ × 100

                 =  27.36 %

For H:

                 =  1.01 g.mol⁻¹ ÷ 84.01 g.mol⁻¹ × 100

                 =  1.20 %

For C:

                 =  12.01 g.mol⁻¹ ÷ 84.01 g.mol⁻¹ × 100

                 =  14.29 % ≈ 14.30 %

For O:

                 =  48.0 g.mol⁻¹ ÷ 84.01 g.mol⁻¹ × 100

                 =  57.13 % ≈ 57.14 %

A gaseous mixture composed of 20% CH4, 30% C2H4, 35% C2H2, and 15% C2H20. What is the average molecular weight of the mixture? a
Semenov [28]

<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is Option d.

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

Mass percentage of CH_4 = 20 %

So, mole fraction of CH_4 = 0.2

Mass percentage of C_2H_4 = 30 %

So, mole fraction of C_2H_4 = 0.3

Mass percentage of C_2H_2 = 35 %

So, mole fraction of C_2H_2 = 0.35

Mass percentage of C_2H_2O = 15 %

So, mole fraction of C_2H_2O = 0.15

We know that:

Molar mass of CH_4 = 16 g/mol

Molar mass of C_2H_4 = 28 g/mol

Molar mass of C_2H_2 = 26 g/mol

Molar mass of C_2H_2O = 48 g/mol

To calculate the average molecular mass of the mixture, we use the equation:

\text{Average molecular weight of mixture}=\frac{_{i=1}^n\sum{\chi_im_i}}{n_i}

where,

\chi_i = mole fractions of i-th species

m_i = molar masses of i-th species

n_i = number of observations

Putting values in above equation:

\text{Average molecular weight}=\frac{(\chi_{CH_4}\times M_{CH_4})+(\chi_{C_2H_4}\times M_{C_2H_4})+(\chi_{C_2H_2}\times M_{C_2H_2})+(\chi_{C_2H_2O}\times M_{C_2H_2O})}{4}

\text{Average molecular weight of mixture}=\frac{(0.20\times 16)+(0.30\times 28)+(0.35\times 26)+(0.15\times 42)}{4}\\\\\text{Average molecular weight of mixture}=6.75

Hence, the correct answer is Option d.

Explain how the cell membrane controls the movement of materials into and out of the cell ?
sukhopar [10]
It's called simple diffusion, the small molecules without charges such as oxygen and carbon dioxide can flow through a plasma membrane without assistance and without expending energy. Other substances such as proteins, glucose and charged particles called ions cannot pass through the selectively permeable membrane.

In Chapter 1 of Astrobiology, A Very Short Introduction, the author talks about some properties of one element in particular tha
Fofino [41]

Answer:

Carbon

Explanation:

Carbon has four electrons in its valence shell, so it generally shares it in a covalent bond. This element needs four electrons to be stable, so it can form single (such as the bond with hydrogen), double (such as the bond with oxygen) or triple bonds (such as the bond with nitrogen).

It can also form bonds with other carbon, and they can form longs chains, that's why there are a lot of organic compounds (the compounds with carbon). Carbon can form rings too, such as in benzene.

3. At the end of a warm summer day, imagine you are jumping from the 80°F air into an
djyliett [7]

Answer:

  • <u>1. Since the temperature of your body is higher than the temperature of the air and of the water, heat will flow from your body to the air and pool.</u>

<u></u>

  • <u>2. The pool feels cooler than air because the water can absorb heat energy faster than the air, due to liquids are better conductors than gases.</u>

<u></u>

Explanation:

Heat always flows from warmer substances to colder ones.

The normal body temperature is 98ºF. Therefore, the heat will flow from your body to the air and pool, which are at a lower temperature of 80ºF. In both cases, you will lose thermal energy and the external parts of your body will cool down.

The difference between both cases is in the heat conduction capacity of both air and water.

Liquids (and solids) are better <em>thermal conductors </em>than gases because the conduction of heat occurs as result of the direct contact between the particles of matter: the atoms or molecules in hot matter vibrate faster than their neighbors and transmit them kinetic energy by direct contact.

Therefore, the liquid water in the swimming pool, at the same temperature than the air, will be able to absorb more heat in the same time from the body.

In conclusion, the body will cool down faster in water than in air which is why the pool feels cooler than air.
