A mixture of sodium bicarbonate and ammonium bicarbonate is 75.9% bicarbonate by mass. what is the mass percent of sodium bicarb

onate in the mixture?

Answer: 24.1%,  under below assumptions.

Justification:

The question is quite ambiguous, because one of the data is not clearly stated. It says that the mixture consists on two compounds:

- sodium bicarbonate, and
- ammonium bicarbonate

.After, it says that it is 75.9 % bicarbonate, but it does not specify which bicarbonate, it might be the sodium bicarbonate or the ammonium bicarbonate. It is apparent that you omitted that information by error.

Given that later, the question is <span>what the mass percent of sodium bicarbonate is in the mixture, it is supposed that the 75.9% content is of ammonium bicarbonate.

With that said, you can calculate the mass percent of sodium bicarbonate, because there are only two compounds and so you know that both add up the 100% of the mixture.

In formulas:

100% = %m/m sodium bicarbonate + %m/m ammonium bicarbonate = 100%

=> % m/m sodium bicarbonate = 100% - % m/s ammonium bicarbonate

=> % sodium bicarbonate = 100% - 75.9% = 24.1%

Answer: 24.1%

Which symbol can be used to indicate the pressure at which a chemical reaction is carried out? 25 degrees Celsius over a right a
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

2 atm

Explanation:

Chemical reactions are carried out at a certain rate. Sometimes that rate is quite slow, so we want to speed things up, which is usually used by increasing temperature, increasing pressure or adding a catalyst (a substance that increases the rate without changing itself).

If this is the case, then, when writing a chemical equation, we state these special conditions over a right arrow.

Now let's look at the answers:

- 25°C is a value and unit of temperature

- ∆ is a symbol that denotes change

- 2 atm is a value and unit of pressure (atmosphere is old unit for pressure)

- Pt is a chemical symbol for platinum, an element often used as a catalyst.

So, the correct answer is C) 2 atm

qwelly [4]
Use the equation q=ncΔT.
q= heat absorbed our released (in this case 1004J)
n= number of moles of sample ( in this case 2.08 mol)
c=molar heat capacity 
ΔT=change in temperature (in this case 20°C)
You have to rewrite the equation for c.
c=q/nΔT
c=1004J/(2.08mol x 20°C)
c=24.1 J/mol°C
