<u>Answer:</u> The mass of sodium hydrogen carbonate that must be added is 27.28 g

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles for given molarity, we use the equation:

\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}\times 1000}{\text{Volume of solution (in mL)}}

Molarity of sulfuric acid solution = 5.8 M

Volume of solution = 28 mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

5.8M=\frac{\text{Moles of sulfuric acid}\times 1000}{28mL}\\\\\text{Moles of sulfuric acid}=0.1624mol

The chemical equation for the reaction of sulfuric acid and sodium hydrogen carbonate follows:

H_2SO_4(aq.)+2NaHCO_3(aq.)\rightarrow Na_2SO_4(aq.)+2CO_2(g)+H_2O(l)

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of sulfuric acid reacts with 2 moles of sodium hydrogen carbonate.

So, 0.1624 moles of sulfuric acid will react with = \frac{2}{1}\times 0.1624=0.3248mol of sodium hydrogen carbonate

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}

Molar mass of sodium hydrogen carbonate = 84 g/mol

Moles of sodium hydrogen carbonate = 0.3248 moles

Putting values in above equation, we get:

0.3248mol=\frac{\text{Mass of sodium hydrogen carbonate}}{84g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of sodium hydrogen carbonate}=(0.3248mol\times 84g/mol)=27.28g

Hence, the mass of sodium hydrogen carbonate that must be added is 27.28 g

First we have to refer to the reaction between the acid and the base: <span>

H2SO4 + 2 NaHCO3 ---> 2 H2O + 2 CO2 + Na2SO4 

From this balanced equation we can see that for every 1 mol of acid (H2SO4), we need 2 mol of base (NaHCO3) to neutralize it. Given 28 ml of 5.8 M acid, we need to find out how many mols of acid that is: 

<span>28mL * (1L/1000mL) * 5.8 mol/L =  0.1624 mol H2SO4</span></span>

<span>
Since we need 2 mol of base per mol of acid, we need:</span>

<span> 2*0.1624 mol = 0.3248 mol NaHCO3 </span><span>

MolarMass of NaHCO3 is 84.01 g/mol 

<span>0.3248 mol*(84.01g/mol) = 27.29 g NaHCO3</span></span>

An aqueous solution of potassium sulfate (K2SO4) has a freezing point of -2.24
iragen [17]
An aqueous solution of potassium sulfate exhibits colligative properties. Colligative properties are properties that depends on the concentration of a substance in a solution. These properties are freezing point depression, vapor pressure lowering, osmotic pressure and boiling point elevation. For this problem we use the concept of freezing point depression since we are given the freezing point of the solution. Freezing point depression is as:
 
ΔT = -k(f) x m x i
-2.24 - 0 = -1.86 x m x 3
<span>m = 0.4014

Thus, the molality of the solution is 0.4014.</span>

An acid and a base react to form salt and water. Which of the following best describes this type of chemical reaction? Redox Neu
I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

Neutralization

Explanation:

When an acid react with base it form the salt and  water. The reaction is also called neutralization reaction because both neutralize each other.

In neutralization reaction equal amount of acid and base react to neutralize each other and equal amount of water and salt are formed. When pH does not reach to 7 its means there is less amount of one of reactant which is not fully neutralize.

Neutralization reactions are also used as first aid. For example when someone is dealing with HCl for cleaning purpose of toilet and get touched. It is advised to neutralize it with soap, milk or egg white.

Example:

Hydrochloric acid when react with the sodium hydroxide, a salt sodium chloride and water are formed.

Chemical equation:

HCl + NaOH → NaCl + H₂O

Titration:

Neutralization reactions are also used to determine the concentration of solution. Titration is a quantitative technique in which acid or base is gradually added into the solution whose concentration is to be determine until the neutral point is reached.

Valence electrons will either ______________ or ______________ to form molecules.
Aneli [31]

Answer:

ionic or covalent

Explanation:

The outermost electrons -- the valence electrons -- are able to interact with other atoms, and, depending on how those electrons interact with other the atoms, either an ionic or covalent bond is formed, and the atoms fuse together to form a molecule.
