Answer:
2NaOH + CO2 -> Na2CO3 + H2O
1) Find the moles of each substance
2) Determine the limitting reagent
∴ Carbon dioxide is limitting as it has a smaller value.
3) multiply the limiting reagent by the mole ratio of unknown over known
n(H2O ) = 0.3976369007 × 1/2
= 0.1988184504 moles
4) Multiply the number of moles by the molar mass of the substance.
m = 0.1988184504 × (1.008 × 2 + 16.00)
= 0.1988184504 × 18.016
= 3.581913202 g

Answer:
Neutrons.
Explanation:
Isotopes can be defined as the atom of an element that has the same number of protons but different number of neutrons. This ultimately implies that, the isotopes of an element have the same atomic number (number of protons) but different atomic mass (number of nucleons).
The isotope of an element is denoted by
Where; X is the symbol of the element.
A is the atomic mass or number of nucleons.
Z is the atomic number or number of protons.
<em>Therefore, the number of neutrons = A - Z</em>
<em>Isotopes of carbon differ with respect to the number of neutrons.</em>
<em>Basically, there are three (3) Isotopes of Carbon and these are;</em>
<em>1. Carbon-12: it has an atomic mass of 12 with 6 numbers of proton and neutron respectively. </em>
<em>2. Carbon-13: it has an atomic mass of 13 with 6 numbers of proton and 7 numbers of neutron. </em>
<em>3. Carbon-14: it has an atomic mass of 14 with 6 numbers of proton and 8 numbers of neutron. </em>
Explanation:
According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor destroyed but it can simply be transformed from one form to another.
For example,
Mass of Na = 23 g/mol
Mass of Cl = 35.5 g/mol
Sum of mass of reactants = mass of Na + mass of Cl
= 23 + 35.5 g/mol
= 58.5 g/mol
Mass of product formed is as follows.
Mass of NaCl = mass of Na + mass of Cl
= (23 g/mol + 35.5) g/mol
= 58.5 g/mol
As mass reacted is equal to the amount of mass formed. This shows that mass is conserved.
As a result, law of conservation of mass is obeyed.
