A catalyst is a chemical that increases the rate of a chemical reaction without itself being changed by the reaction. The fact that they aren't changed by participating in a reaction distinguishes catalysts from substrates, which are the reactants on which catalysts work. Enzymes catalyze biochemical reactions.
<em>m Na₂CO₃: 23g×2 + 12g + 16g×3 = 106 g/mol</em>
------------------------------
1 mol ------- 106g
X ------------ 10,6g
X = 10,6/106
<u>X = 0,1 mol Na₂CO₃</u>
Answer:
the compound contains C, H, and some other element of unknownidentity, so we can’t calculate the empirical formula
Explanation:
Mass of CO2 obtained = 3.14 g
Hence number of moles of CO2 = 3.14g/44.0 g = 0.0714 mol
The mass of the carbon in the sample = 0.0714 mol × 12.0g/mol = 0.857 g
Mass of H2O obtained = 1.29 g
Hence number of moles of H2O = 1.29g/18.0 g = 0.0717 mol
The mass of the carbon in the sample = 0.0717 mol × 1g/mol = 0.0717 g
% by mass of carbon = 0.857/1 ×100 = 85.7 %
% by mass of hydrogen = 0.0717/1 × 100 = 7.17%
Mass of carbon and hydrogen = 85.7 + 7.17 = 92.87 %
Hence, there must be an unidentified element that accounts for (100 - 92.87) = 7.13% of the compound.
The periodic table of elements is divided into columns and rows. The vertical columns represent the groups while the horizontal rows represent the periods. A group of elements usually have similar physical and chemical properties. The first column of the periodic table is made up of 7 elements including SODIUM.
1. The name of the element chosen is sodium and its chemical symbol is Na.
2. Sodium is a metal and thus it has metallic properties.
3. Sodium belongs to group one elements whose family name is ALKALI METALS.
4. The neutral atom of sodium is made up of 11 protons, 11 electrons and 12 neutrons.
