It is much better to use baking soda. Any acid that reacts with baking soda gives off carbon dioxide. Hence, you can see an endpoint through the fizzing. With this, you will know when to stop adding. If you use NaOH, you might add it to an acid that creates an exothermic reaction. For example, if the acid was sulfuric acid, it will create more heat which will lead to more unfortunate events. To be safe, you add baking soda to neutralize, then mix it with a bit of water.

sasho [114]

Answer:

According to the Brønsted definition, an acid is a substance capable of donating a proton, and a base is a substance capable of accepting a proton. ... The species giving up the proton is HCl, an acid. The species accepting the proton is water, the base. The species Cl- is the conjugate base of HCl.

How many hydrogen atoms are in 35.0 grams of hydrogen gas? How many hydrogen atoms are in 35.0 grams of hydrogen gas? 4.25 × 102
Ede4ka [16]

Answer: 2.12\times 10^{25} atoms of hydrogen are there in

35.0 grams of hydrogen gas.

Explanation:

According to avogadro's law, 1 mole of every substance occupies 22.4 L at STP and contains avogadro's number 6.023\times 10^{23} of particles.

To calculate the moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text {Molar mass}}=\frac{35.0g}{2g/mol}=17.5moles

1 mole of hydrogen (H_2) = 2\times 6.023\times 10^{23}=12.05\times 10^{23} atoms

17.5 mole of hydrogen (H_2) = \frac{12.05\times 10^{23}}{1}\times 17.5=2.12\times 10^{25} atoms

There are 2.12\times 10^{25} atoms of hydrogen are there in

35.0 grams of hydrogen gas.

A sample of a compound is analyzed and found to contain 0.420 g nitrogen, 0.480g oxygen, 0.540 g carbon and 0.135 g hydrogen. Wh
RSB [31]

Answer:

C2H5NO

Explanation:

constituent elements                    N              O               C                H

Mass composition                     0.420        0.480         0.540         0.135

mole ratio                                   0.42/14       0.48/16      0.54/12         0.135/1

                                              = 0.03                0.03             0.045         0.135

dividing by the smallest           0.03/0.03     0.03/0.03    0.045/0.03 0.135/0.03

ratio                                      =        1                      1                1.5                 4.5

                                             =        1                      1                  2                   5

EMPERICAL FORMULA = C2H5NO

N sub 2 +3H sub 2 rightwards arrow 2NH sub If 6 liters of hydrogen gas are used, how many liters of nitrogen gas will be needed
astraxan [27]

Answer:

2L of nitrogen gas will be needed

Explanation:

Based on the following reaction:

N₂ + 3H₂ → 2NH₃

<em>1 mole of nitrogen reacts with 3 moles of hydrogen to produce 2 moles of ammonia.</em>

<em />

If 6L of hydrogen (In a gas, the volume is directly proportional to the moles, Avogadro's law) react, the volume of nitrogen gas required will be:

6L H₂ * (1mol N₂ / 3 moles H₂) =

<h3>2L of nitrogen gas will be needed</h3>
