The formula of citric acid is:

           CO2H
           |
HO -  C - CH2CO2H
          
|
          C - CH2 CO2H



I bolded the 4 hydrogens that can be subsituted by sodium.


Three of those hydrogens belong to carboxyl group (- CO2H) and one to a hydroxyl group (- OH).


You need to take into account that 4 H will form 2 H2 molecules.


So, the answer is that 2 moles of molecules will be formed from 1 mole of citric acid molecules.

What is the capillary rise of ethanol in a glass tube with a 0.1 mm radius if the surface tension of ethanol is 0.032Jm2 and the
iragen [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Expression for capillary rise is as follows

h = 2T / ρ g r where T is surface tension , ρ is density of liquid and r is radius of capillary tube.

T = .032 J m⁻²

ρ = .71 g / cm³

= 7100 kg / m³

r = .1 x 10⁻³ m = 10⁻⁴ m

h = 2 x .032 / (7100 x 9.8 x 10⁻⁴ )

h = .0092 m

= 9.2 mm .

What is the product when magnesium reacts with nitrogen? Mg(s) + N2(g) → Mg2N3(s) Mg3N(s) Mg3N2(s) MgN3(s)
bixtya [17]
Look at the periodic table to find the charge on atoms.
 Magnesium is +2 and Nitrogen is -3. Since there are two nitrogen charge 2*-3 = -6 there needs to be 3 Mg then (3*2+ = 6+) to pair with the two nitrogen.
3 Mg(+2) + 2 N(-3) = Mg3N2
