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

Chemistry
1 answer:
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.

What is paper chromatography? Calculate the Rr value of a colored dye that traveled 52 mm on a chromatography strip while the so
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

Paper chromatography is a basic technique of chromatography. It consist in the separation of the mixe components using a solvent.

Explanation:

Paper chromatography is a basic technique of chromatography. It consists in the separation of the mixed components using a solvent.

Paper chromatography consists of put some dot of the mix using a glass capillary into a specialized paper, generally made of cellulose, this is called a stationary phase.

Then you put this paper into a camera of glass named, chromatography camera, where previously contain a solvent. The solvent also know as a mobile phase, the type can be defined before the test and involves a study of the kind of the mix, and the compound you want to separate.

The chromatography camera has to be closed all the time during the test, and you can't move at all because the movement of the solvent can alternate the result.

Very often, the solution of the solvent is a mix of different liquid substances with different polarities.

When the stationary phase put into the camera, the solvent starts to move up over the paper, until the separation of the compounds is observable.

the Rf is a value who relates the move of the mobile phase with the move of the distance traveled by the substance tested.

To undersant the paper chromatography, you can watch the images attached.

The first is an image of the chromatography camera.

The second one is an image of a cellulose paper after the chromatography is done. You can watch the dots who indicates the traveling of the compound across the paper.

The third one can show you the evolutions of paper chromatography, from the beginning to the end.

To calculate the Rf value you have to use the equation:

Rf = distance traveled by the substance/distance traveled by the solvent/

<u>Rf = 52mm/81mm =0.64</u>

lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

15.35 g of (NH₄)₃PO₄

Explanation:

First we need to look at the chemical reaction:

3 NH₃ + H₃PO₄ → (NH₄)₃PO₄

Now we calculate the number of moles of ammonia (NH₃):

number of moles = mass / molecular wight

number of moles = 5.24 / 17 = 0.308 moles of NH₃

Now from the chemical reaction we devise the following reasoning:

if         3 moles of NH₃ are produce 1 mole of (NH₄)₃PO₄

then   0.308 moles of NH₃ are produce X moles of (NH₄)₃PO₄

X = (0.308 × 1) / 3 = 0.103 moles of (NH₄)₃PO₄

mass = number of moles × molecular wight

mass = 0.103 × 149 = 15.35 g of (NH₄)₃PO₄

N2O5 decomposes to form NO2 and O2 with first-order kinetics. The initial concentration of N2O5 is 3.0 M and the reaction runs f
kow [346]

Answer : The final concentration of N_2O_5 is, 2.9 M

Explanation :

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{a}{a-x}

where,

k = rate constant  = 5.89\times 10^{-3}\text{ min}^{-1}

t = time passed by the sample  = 3.5 min

a = initial concentration of the reactant  = 3.0 M

a - x = concentration left after decay process = ?

Now put all the given values in above equation, we get

3.5=\frac{2.303}{5.89\times 10^{-3}}\log\frac{3.0}{a-x}

a-x=2.9M

Thus, the final concentration of N_2O_5 is, 2.9 M
