Baking soda, NaHCO3, can be commercially produced during a series of chemical reactions called the Solvay process. In this proce

ss, NH3(aq), NaCl(aq), and
other chemicals are used to produce NaHCO3(s) and NH Cl(aq).
To reduce production costs, NH3(aq) is recovered from NHCl(aq) through a different series of reactions. This series of reactions can be summarized by the
overall reaction represented by the unbalanced equation below.
NHACH(aq) + Ca(s) - NH3(aq) + H20() + CaCl(aq)
Balance the equation below for the overall reaction used to recover NH3(aq), using the smallest whole-number coefficients.

Answer:

CaO(s) + 2NH4Cl(aq) -------> CaCl2(aq) + H2O(l) + 2NH3(g)

Explanation:

The solvay process is an important process in the chemical industry. In this process, ammonia gas is first dissolved in concentrated brine to form a mixture known as ammoniacal brine. This solution is made to trickle down the tower. A counter stream of carbon dioxide is forced up the tower. The two substances react to form sodium hydrogen trioxocarbonate IV. This substance is only slightly soluble and separates out as a solid sludge. The product is now dried and heated to give sodium trioxocarbonate IV.

The overall reaction of the process can be given as;

CaO(s) + 2NH4Cl(aq) -------> CaCl2(aq) + H2O(l) + 2NH3(g)

Calcium chloride is merely a by-product.

a compound is decomposed In the laboratory and produces 1.40 g N and 0.20g H what is the empirical formula
Bumek [7]

First, find the number of moles for each element. The molar mass for nitrogen is 14 g/mol and that of hydrogen is 1 g/mol.

1.40 g N / 14 g/mol = 0.1 mol N

0.20 g H / 1 g/mol = 0.2 mol H

Find the mole ratio. Divide both numbers with the much lower value. In this case, it is 0.1 mol N.

For N: 0.1 ÷ 0.1 = 1

For H: 0.2÷0.1 = 2

Thus, the empirical formula is NH_{2}.

Rutherford investigated atoms by firing small, positively charged particles at a thin sheet of gold foil. What results would he
Bezzdna [24]
If Thomson’s model of the atom were correct, Rutherford should have seen a complete reflection of those particles when fired at the foil. Those particles would have hit a solid object (Thomson model) and would have been reflected back at the emitter. However, Rutherford discovered that most of those particles passed through the sheet, either continuing straight through or having the angle change a small amount (bouncing off the nucleus). Only a small number of the particles were reflected back, having hit the nucleus straight on. This led him to believe that there was a small, dense portion of the atom that resided within a larger, emptier space.

USPshnik [31]

Answer:

Atoms will rearrange and for new substances

Explanation:

In a chemical reaction, elements combine their atoms and create new substances. For this to occur, the bonds must break and form new ones with the other atoms.
