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%

How many grams of KOH are required to prepare 500. mL of 0.450 KOH solution?
Digiron [165]

Answer:

KOH  molar mass = 39 + 16 + 1 = 56g

To make 1 L of 1M soln needs 56g KOH

To make 500mL 1M needs 56/2 = 28g

To make 500mL 0.2M needs 28 x 0.2gn:

The reactants in a chemical equation have 3 carbon atoms, 6 oxygen atoms, and 4 hydrogen atoms. In order to follow the conservat
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

The same amount of atoms (3 carbon atoms, 6 oxygen atoms, and 4 hydrogen atoms).

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of mass, when a chemical reaction takes place there is no synthesis or degradation of matter, that is, <em>matter can be neither created nor destroyed</em>. It can only be transformed.

Therefore, in a <u>chemical reaction the atoms are conserved</u>. That means that the elements that in definite proportions are forming a compound, will reorganize to form new compounds, and <u>the amount and type of atoms of the products will be the same as the reactants</u>.

In summary, if the reactants in a chemical equation have 3 carbon atoms, 6 oxygen atoms, and 4 hydrogen atoms, the products of the chemical equation will have 3 carbon atoms, 6 oxygen atoms, and 4 hydrogen atoms as well.

1) boiling points increase as molecular weight increase and vice versa. This is due to the increase in van der waals forces between molecules.
2) branching decreases the melting and boiling i.e increase in branching decrease boiling point and melting point. This is due to the fact that there are less point of contact between neighbouring molecules, so molecules are farther apart from each other, which means weaker van der waals(London forces) less energy is required to overcome these force of attraction.
3) In homolytic fission each of the fragment retain one of the bonded electron and radicals are made if the molecule is neutral. In heterolytic fission one fragment gets both bonding electron.
The energy for the heterolytic fission is higher because energy is not only needed to break the covalent bond but also to overcome the force of attraction between oppositely charged ions formed.
