Answer:

0.79 g

Explanation:

Let's introduce a strategy needed to solve any similar problem like this:

Apply the mass conservation law (assuming that this reaction goes 100 % to completion): the total mass of the reactants should be equal to the total mass of the products.

Based on the mass conservation law, we need to identify the reactants first. Our only reactant is sodium bicarbonate, so the total mass of the reactants is:

$m_r=m_{NaHCO_3}=2.36 g$

We have two products formed, sodium carbonate and carbonic acid. This implies that the total mass of the products is:

$m_p=m_{Na_2CO_3}+m_{H_2CO_3}$

Apply the law of mass conservation:

$m_r=m_p$

Substitute the given variables:

$m_{NaHCO_3}=m_{Na_2CO_3}+m_{H_2CO_3}$

Rearrange for the mass of carbonic acid:

$m_{H_2CO_3}=m_{NaHCO_3}-m_{Na_2CO_3}=2.36 g - 1.57 g=0.79 g$

Define energy and power and describe the relationship that exists between them.

bagirrra123 [75]

Energy is ability to work or function. Power is the amount of energy transferred to an object.
When energy is transferred to an object or has energy it moves and power is the energy put in a object, meaning they work together to move the object

Neutral atoms of argon, atomic number 18, have the same number of electrons as each of the following items except: Cl- S -2 K+ C

irinina [24]

Answer:

Ne.

Explanation:

Neutral argon, atomic number 18, has 18 electrons.

Cl⁻:

Neutral atom of Cl, atomic number 17, has 17 electrons.

When it gains electron and be Cl⁻, then it has 18 electrons a neutral Ar.

S²⁻:

Neutral atom of S, atomic number 16, has 16 electrons.

When it gains 2 electrons and be S²⁻, then it has 18 electrons a neutral Ar.

K⁺:

Neutral atom of K, atomic number 19, has 19 electrons.

When it losses electron and be K⁺, then it has 18 electrons a neutral Ar.

Ca²⁺:

Neutral atom of Ca, atomic number 20, has 20 electrons.

When it losses 2 electrons and be Ca²⁺, then it has 18 electrons a neutral Ar.

Ne:

It is a noble gas that has 10 electrons.

So, the right choice is: Ne.

Determine the number of unpaired electrons in Ca?

serg [7]

When an electron occupies an orbital of an atom singly, rather than an electron pair such electron is said to be an unpaired electron. Each atomic orbital of an atom specified by quantum numbers can contain a maximum of two electrons having opposite spins, electron pair.

The numbers of unpaired electrons are determined by the electronic configuration of an atom. The electronic configuration of calcium, $Ca$ is:

$1s^{2}2s^{2}2p^{6}3s^{2}3p^{6}4s^{2}$ or $[Ar]4s^{2}$

Since, from the electronic configuration it is clear that the number of electrons in valence orbital that is $4s$ is 2 that means the electrons are paired up in the valence orbital so, there are no unpaired electrons present in $Ca$ .

Hence, the number of unpaired electrons in $Ca$ is 0.

Classify the following sets of measurements as accurate, precise, both, or neither.

azamat

Answer:

Explanation:

Accuracy is defined is as the ability to perfectly repeat results in an experiment. It is simply reproducing the same set of result with little to no altercation.

Precision is nearness of the result to the true value.

(a) Checking for consistency in the weight of chocolate chip cookies: 17.27 g, 13.05 g, 19.46 g, 16.92 g

The result above is neither accurate nor precise. We can see a lot of inconsistencies in the readings shown and no repeatability whatsoever.

(b) Testing the volume of a batch of 25- mL pipettes: 27.02mL, 26.99 mL, 26.97 mL, 27.01 mL

The results here are accurate but not precise. They are a little bit off the 25mL mark but the experiment was able to reproduce nearly the same result.

(c)Determining the purity of gold: 99.9999%, 99.9998%, 99.9999%

This result is both precise and accurate. Pure Gold should be 100% and our values are very close. The experiment also was able to generate very accurate results.
