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.

In an experiment, a student was assigned to find the formula of an unknown hydrate that weighed 15.67g. The anhydrate, XCO3 (mol
meriva

Answer:

5.0 moles of water per one mole of anhydrate

Explanation:

To solve this question we must find the moles of the anhydrate. The difference in mass between the dry and the anhydrate gives the mass of water. Thus, we can find the moles of water and the moles of water per mole of anhydrate:

<em>Moles Anhydrate:</em>

7.58g  * (1mol / 84.32g) = 0.0899 moles XCO3

<em>Moles water:</em>

15.67g - 7.58g = 8.09g * (1mol / 18.01g) = 0.449 moles H2O

Moles of water per mole of anhydrate:

0.449 moles H2O / 0.0899 moles XCO3 =

5.0 moles of water per one mole of anhydrate

What type of solution has the capacity to dissolve more solute?
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

The answer to this is

Unsaturated solution

Explanation:

An unsaturated solution has the property of having a solute concentration lower than the the solubility at equilibrium at a given temperature hence it has the capacity to  dissolve more solutes. Is is a solution containing a lower amount of solute than a saturated solution

The two processes that occur on dissolving a solute in a solvent are dissolution and crystallization and in an unsaturated solution the rate of dissolution is greater than the rate of crystallization

Answer:

im not smart but here

Explanation:

The strength of the gravitational force between two objects depends on two factors, mass and distance. the force of gravity the masses exert on each other. If one of the masses is doubled, the force of gravity between the objects is doubled. increases, the force of gravity decreases.
