Answer:
NaHCO3 = No. of atoms are 1 sodium + 1 Hydrogen + 1 carbon + 3 oxygens = 6 atoms per molecule.
Hey there!
Solid Sodium and water will react spontaneously and release energy. This is based on the reactivity series. Sodium is a highly reactive metal and hence, it is placed at the top of the reactivity series. This is because it loses its outermost electron very readily. When it comes in contact with water, it reacts with it violently to form sodium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. This reaction is exothermic and hence, accompanied with a release of energy. Gold lies at the bottom of the reactivity series as it is very stable and does not give away its outermost electrons easily. Therefore, when it comes in contact with water, there is no reaction and no release of energy.
Answer:
The concentration the student should write down in her lab is 2.2 mol/L
Explanation:
Atomic mass of the elements are:
Na: 22.989 u
S: 32.065 u
O: 15.999 u
Molar mass of sodium thiosulfate, Na2S2O3 = (2*22.989 + 2*32.065 + 3*15.999) g/mol = 158.105 g/mol.
Mass of Na2S2O3 taken = (19.440 - 2.2) g = 17.240 g.
For mole(s) of Na2S2O3 = (mass taken)/(molar mass)
= (17.240 g)/(158.105 g/mol) = 0.1090 mole.
Volume of the solution = 50.29 mL = (50.29 mL)*(1 L)/(1000 mL)
= 0.05029 L.
To find the molar concentration of the sodium thiosulfate solution prepared we use the formula:
= (moles of sodium thiosulfate)/(volume of solution in L)
= (0.1090 mole)/(0.05029 L)
= 2.1674 mol/L
