A match-head is flammable, but you have to get it up to its ignition temperature first.
A diamond is flammable, but its ignition temperature is astronomical and
totally out of sight.
Answer:
a. Approximately
.
b. Approximately
.
Explanation:
The unit of concentration "
" is equivalent to "
", which means "moles per liter."
However, the volume of both solutions were given in mililiters
. Convert these volumes to liters:
.
.
In a solution of volume
where the concentration of a solute is
, there would be
(moles of) formula units of this solute.
Calculate the number of moles of
formula units in each of the two solutions:
Solution in a.:
.
Solution in b.:
.
What volume of that
(same as
)
solution would contain that many
For the solution in a.:
.
Convert the unit of that volume to milliliters:
.
Similarly, for the solution in b.:
.
Convert the unit of that volume to milliliters:
.
To determine the number of moles of carbon dioxide that is produced, we need to know the reaction of the process. For the reaction of HCl and sodium carbonate, the balanced chemical equation would be expressed as:
2HCl + Na2CO3 = 2NaCl + H2O + CO2
From the initial amount given of sodium carbonate and the relation of the substances from the balanced reaction, we calculate the moles of carbon dioxide as follows:
0.2 moles Na2Co3 ( 1 mol CO2 / 1 mol Na2Co3 ) = 0.2 moles CO2
Therefore, the amount in moles of carbon dioxide that is produced from 0.2 moles sodium carbonate would be 0.2 moles as well.
