The mass of NaCl formed is 8.307 grams
<u><em> calculation</em></u>
step 1: write the equation for reaction
Na₂CO₃ + 2HCl → 2 NaCl +CO₂ +H₂O
Step 2: find the moles of Na₂CO₃
moles = mass/molar mass
The molar mass of Na₂CO₃ is = (23 x2) + 12 + ( 16 x3) = 106 g/mol
moles = 7.5 g/106 g/mol =0.071 moles
Step 3: use the mole ratio to determine the mole of NaCl
Na₂CO₃:NaCl is 1:2 therefore the moles of NaCl =0.07 x2 =0.142 moles
Step 4: calculate mass of NaCl
mass= moles x molar mass
the molar mass of NaCl= 23 +35.5 =58.5 g/mol
mass = 0.142 moles x 58.5 g/mol =8.307 grams
<em>Answer:</em>
<em>Chemical equations must be balanced to satisfy the law of conservation of matter, that states that matter cannot be produced or destroyed in a closed system. The law of conservation of mass governs the balancing of a chemical equation.</em>
Explanation:
The average mass of an atom is calculated with the formula:
average mass = abundance of isotope (1) × mass of isotope (1) + abundance of isotope (2) × mass of isotope (2) + ... an so on
For the boron we have two isotopes, so the formula will become:
average mass of boron = abundance of isotope (1) × mass of isotope (1) + abundance of isotope (2) × mass of isotope (2)
We plug in the values:
10.81 = 0.1980 × 10.012938 + 0.8020 × mass of isotope (2)
10.81 = 1.98 + 0.8020 × mass of isotope (2)
10.81 - 1.98 = 0.8020 × mass of isotope (2)
8.83 = 0.8020 × mass of isotope (2)
mass of isotope (2) = 8.83 / 0.8020
mass of isotope (2) = 11.009975
mass of isotope (1) = 10.012938 (given by the question)
