Answer:
32.5g of sodium carbonate
Explanation:
Reaction of sodium carbonate (Na₂CO₃) with Mg²⁺ and Ca²⁺ as follows:
Na₂CO₃(aq) + Ca²⁺(aq) → CaCO₃(s)
Na₂CO₃(aq) + Mg²⁺(aq) → MgCO₃(s)
<em>1 mole of carbonate reacts per mole of the cations.</em>
<em />
To know the mass of sodium carbonate we must know the moles of carbonate we need to add based on the moles of the cations:
<em>Moles Mg²⁺:</em>
2.91L * (0.0661 moles MgCl₂ / 1L) = 0.192 moles MgCl₂ = Moles Mg²⁺
<em>Moles Ca²⁺:</em>
2.91L * (0.0396mol Ca(NO₃)₂ / 1L) = 0.115 moles Ca(NO₃)₂ = Moles Ca²⁺
That means moles of sodium carbonate you must add are:
0.192 moles + 0.115 moles = 0.307 moles sodium carbonate.
In grams (Using molar mass Na₂CO₃ = 105.99g/mol):
0.307 moles Na₂CO₃ * (105.99g / mol) =
<h3>32.5g of sodium carbonate</h3>
Answer:

Explanation:
Hello,
In this case, for the sample of the given compound, we can compute the moles of each atom (carbon, hydrogen and oxygen) that is present in the sample as shown below:
- Moles of carbon are contained in the 9.582 grams of carbon dioxide:

- Moles of hydrogen are contained in the 3.922 grams of water:

- Mass of oxygen is computed by subtracting both the mass of carbon and hydrogen in carbon dioxide and water respectively from the initial sample:

Finally, we compute the percent by mass of oxygen:

<span>You need to have NAD+ as a source of oxidation for the pyruvate, as well as a supply of coenzyme A. CO2 is released by the pyruvate as a carboxyl group is removed</span>
