The balanced equation :
2NaHCO₃⇒CO₂ + Na₂CO₃+H₂O
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
Reaction
NaHCO(s) --> _CO2+_NaCO(s)+_H2O
Required
The balanced equation
Solution
Maybe the equation should be like this :
NaHCO₃⇒CO₂ + Na₂CO₃+H₂O
Give a coefficient
NaHCO₃⇒aCO₂ + bNa₂CO₃+cH₂O
Make an equation
Na, left=1, right=2b⇒2b=1⇒b=1/2
H, left=1, right=2c⇒2c=1⇒c=1/2
C, left=1, right=a+b⇒a+b=1⇒a+1/2=1⇒a=1/2
The equation becomes :
NaHCO₃⇒1/2CO₂ +1/2Na₂CO₃+1/2H₂O x2
2NaHCO₃⇒CO₂ + Na₂CO₃+H₂O
We are given
0.2 M HCHO2 which is formic acid, a weak acid
and
0.15 M NaCHO2 which is a salt which can be formed by reacting HCHO2 and NaOH
The mixture of the two results to a basic buffer solution
To get the pH of a base buffer, we use the formula
pH = 14 - pOH = 14 - (pKa - log [salt]/[base])
We need the pKa of HCO2
From, literature, pKa = 1.77 x 10^-4
Substituting into the equation
pH = 14 - (1.77 x 10^-4 - log 0.15/0.2)
pH = 13.87
So, the pH of the buffer solution is 13.87
A pH of greater than 7 indicates that the solution is basic and a pH close to 14 indicates high alkalinity. This is due to the buffering effect of the salt on the base.
Can you take picture of the whole question? I can’t see.
Answer:
All right. So let's calculate the density of a glass marble. Remember that the formula for density is mass over volume. So if I know that the masses 18.5 g. And I know that the um volume is 6.45 cubic centimeters. I can go ahead and answer this to three significant figures. So it's going to be 2.87 grams per cubic centimeter. Okay, that's our density. Now, density is an intensive process. Okay. We're an intensive property. I really should say. It doesn't depend on how much you have. Mhm. If I have one marble, its density is going to be 2.87 g per cubic centimeter. If I have two marbles, the density will be the same because I'll double the mass and I'll also double the volume. So when I divide them I'll get the same number. Okay, that's what makes it an intensive property. No matter how many marbles I have, they'll have the same density. Mass though is not an intensive property. So if I have six marbles and I want to know what the massive six marbles is. Well, I know the mass of each marble is 18.5 g. So the mass of six marbles Is going to be 100 11 g. Because mass is an extensive property. It depends on how much you have. If I change the number of marbles, I'm going to change the mass. That's an extensive property. All right. So we've calculated the density. We've calculated the mass and then what happens to the density of one marble compared to six marbles as we mentioned before. Since densities and intensive property, the densities will be the same, no matter how may.
