The chemical formula for baking soda is NaHCO. Does baking soda contain metallic or non-metallic elements? Which one is which?

Chemistry

Fed [463]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Both metals and non metals.

Explanation:

The correct formula of baking soda is NaHCO₃,

An element is considered to be metal if it is able to give electron easily due to very low ionization energy.

A non metal is ready to accept electron easily due to high electron affinity.

In sodium bicarbonate :

Na: Sodium : metal

H : Hydrogen: non metal (although placed with first group, alkali metals, in the periodic table as it readily loses electron like metals)

C: Carbon: Non metal

O : Oxygen : Non metal.

So the compound contains both metals and non metals.

You have 50 ml of a complex mixture of weak acids that contains some HF (pKa = 3.18) and some HCN (pKa = 9.21). Which is larger,
telo118 [61]

Answer:

\frac{[F^{-}]}{[HF]} is larger

Explanation:

pK_{a}=-logK_{a} , where K_{a} is the acid dissociation constant.

For a monoprotic acid e.g. HA, K_{a}=\frac{[H^{+}][A^{-}]}{[HA]} and \frac{[A^{-}]}{[HA]}=\frac{K_{a}}{[H^{+}]}

So, clearly, higher the K_{a} value , lower will the the pK_{a}

In this mixture, at equilibrium, [H^{+}] will be constant.

K_{a} of HF is grater than K_{a} of HCN

Hence, (\frac{F^{-}}{[HF]}=\frac{K_{a}(HF)}{[H^{+}]})>(\frac{CN^{-}}{[HCN]}=\frac{K_{a}(HCN)}{[H^{+}]})

So, \frac{[F^{-}]}{[HF]} is larger

PLEASE ANSWER QUICKLY!! 25. Which gas sample contains a total of 3.0 x 1023 molecules?
nevsk [136]

Answer:

14 g of N2

Explanation:

If we look at the options, we will notice that the correct answer needs to be a gas that has about half of the molecular mass of the gas.

If we consider nitrogen gas whose molecular mass is 28g/mol, half of the molecular mass is 14 g.

So;

28g of N2 contains 6.02 × 10^23 molecules of N2

14g of N2 contains 14 × 6.02 × 10^23 /28

= 3.0 x 10^23
