Note that we are omitting the water.

So, sodium carbonate will basically dissociate into positive sodium ions and negative carbonate ions based on the following equation:
 <span>Na2CO3 → 2 Na(+) + CO3(2-)
</span>
If we took water into consideration:
Sodium carbonate will dissociate in water forming carbonic acid and sodium hydroxide. Since sodium hydroxide is a strong base, therefore, it will then neutralize the gastric acid, thus, acting as an antacid.

The equation for the dissociation of {\text{N}}{{\text{a}}_2}{\text{C}}{{\text{O}}_3} is \boxed{{\text{N}}{{\text{a}}_2}{\text{C}}{{\text{O}}_3}\to2{\text{N}}{{\text{a}}^ + }+{\text{CO}}_3^{2 - }}

Further Explanation:

The attraction between atoms, molecules or ions which results in the formation of chemical compounds is known as a chemical bond. It is formed either due to electrostatic forces or by the sharing of electrons. There are many strong bonds such as ionic bonds, covalent bonds, and metallic bonds while some weak bonds like dipole-dipole interactions, London dispersion forces, and hydrogen bonding.

Ionic compounds are the compounds that are formed from the ions of the respective species. Ions are the species that are formed either due to loss or gain of electrons. A neutral atom forms cation by the loss of electrons and anion by the gain of electrons.

For example, {\text{MgC}}{{\text{l}}_2} is an ionic compound formed from one {\text{M}}{{\text{g}}^{2 + }} and two {\text{C}}{{\text{l}}^ - } ions. Therefore one mole of {\text{MgC}}{{\text{l}}_2} dissociates to give one mole of {\text{M}}{{\text{g}}^{2 + }} and two moles of {\text{C}}{{\text{l}}^ - } ions. Its dissociation occurs as follows:

{\text{MgC}}{{\text{l}}_2}\rightleftharpoons {\text{M}}{{\text{g}}^{2 + }}+{\text{2C}{{\text{l}}^ - }

{\text{N}}{{\text{a}}_2}{\text{C}}{{\text{O}}_3} is an ionic compound that is formed by two {\text{N}}{{\text{a}}^ + } and one {\text{CO}}_3^{2 - } ion. Therefore one mole of {\text{N}}{{\text{a}}_2}{\text{C}}{{\text{O}}_3} dissociates to give two moles of {\text{N}}{{\text{a}}^ + } and one mole of {\text{CO}}_3^{2 - } ion. The reaction for dissociation of {\mathbf{N}}{{\mathbf{a}}_{\mathbf{2}}}{\mathbf{C}}{{\mathbf{O}}_{\mathbf{3}}} is,

{\text{N}}{{\text{a}}_2}{\text{C}}{{\text{O}}_3}\to2{\text{N}}{{\text{a}}^ + }+{\text{CO}}_3^{2 - }

Which of the following molecules has one lone pair of electrons?
BigorU [14]
You can automatically rule out CH₄ since it has no lone pairs at all around the central atom. Water has 2. Ammonia is the only Lewis structure that contains one lone pair.

A solid yellow stripe is to be painted in the middle of a certain highway. If 1 gallon of paint covers an area of p square feet
Zolol [24]

Answer:

440mt/p gallons

Explanation:

We are told that one gallon of paint covers an area of p square feet. Knowing this then, the question becomes how much paint is needed to cover a stripe that is t inches wide and m miles long.

Let us first use the dimensions of the stripe to find how much area that is in square feet. A stripe is rectangular so we will calculate the area as follows:

Area of stripe = width x length

                       = t inches x m miles              (we need to convert both to feet)

                       = (t inches x 1 ft/12 inches) x (m miles x 5280 ft/1 mi)

                       =440mt square feet

ow we can find out how much paint will be needed by using ratios

p square feet : 1 gallon

440mt square feet : x

x = 440mt/p gallons
