Carbonate compounds have a negative valency (because they contain oxygen), so NaCO3 has a negative valency (it’s a negatively-charged ion) which makes it basic or alkaline.

many cars are fitted with airbags which inflate in an accident. Airbags contain solid sodium azide, NaN₃, which decomposes rapid
Lesechka [4]
The initial balanced equation of decomposition is:

2NaN3 —> 2Na + 3N2

Since 1 mole of a gas occupies 24dm^3 at room temperature and pressure:

72dm^3 / 24dm^3 = 3 moles of Nitrogen which required 2 moles of Sodium Azide.

Since moles = mass/Relative molecular mass or molar mass

2 moles x 65~ g/mol = 130g

For the empirical formula:

Element H N
% Mass 2.33% 97.7%
Mass/Mr 2.33 6.97
2.33 7~

Divide by lowest number

1 3

Therefore empirical formula is

A catalyst decreases the activation energy of a particular exothermic reaction by 56 kJ/mol, to 35 kJ/mol. Assuming that the mec
-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

Activation energy for the uncatalyzed reverse reaction = 103 kJ/mol

Explanation:

Activation energy decreases from = 56 kj/mol to 35 kj/mol

products = 78 KJ lower in energy than reactants

Activation energy for the uncatalyzed reverse reaction = 103 kJ/mol

attached below are the sketches of approximate energy-level for both catalyzed and uncatalyzed reactions

A chemist measures the amount of chlorine gas produced during an experiment. She finds that of chlorine gas is produced. Calcula
Trava [24]

Answer:

0.779 moles.

Explanation:

Mass of chlorine/number of moles = molar mass of chlorine.

Molar mass of chlorine = (35.5*2)

= 71 g/mol.

Mass = 55.3 g of chlorine.

Number of moles = 55.3/71

= 0.779 moles.
