What state of matter is at 35 Celsius
Otrada [13]
Different forms of matter have different melting/boiling points. For example, at 100 degrees Celsius, H2O (water) will turn from lliquid to gas. But NaOH (table salt) doesn't even go from solid to liquid until some 800 degrees Celsius. So, in order to figure out which state matter is at 35 Celsius, you'd have to be more specific about what kind of matter...

How many moles are in 110 grams of nahco3
yuradex [85]
Molar mass NaHCO₃ = 23 + 1 + 12 + 16 x 3 = 84 g/mol

1 mole ---------- 84 g
? mole ---------- 110 g

moles NaHCO₃ = 110 . 1 / 84

moles NaHCO₃ = 110 / 84

= 1.309 moles
