Answer:

Mass of sodium carbonate = 33.92 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of sodium hydroxide = 38 g

Mass of carbon = 28 g

Mass of sodium carbonate produced = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

6NaOH + 2C → 2Na + 3H₂ + 2Na₂CO₃

Now will calculate the number of moles of reactants:

Number of moles of sodium hydroxide:

Number of moles = mass / molar mass

Number of moles = 38 g/ 40 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.95 mol

Number of moles of carbon:

Number of moles = mass / molar mass

Number of moles = 28 g/ 16 g/mol

Number of moles = 1.75 mol

Now we will compare the moles of both reactant with sodium carbonate.

                         C           :         Na₂CO₃

                         2           :           2

                       1.75         :         1.75

                  NaOH          :       Na₂CO₃      

                    6               :           2

                     0.95       :           2/6×0.95 = 0.32  

Number of moles of sodium carbonate produced by sodium hydroxide are less so it will limiting reactant.

Mass of sodium carbonate:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 0.32 mol × 106 g/mol

Mass = 33.92 g

Calculate the amount of water required to prepare 500g of 2.5% solution of sugar.
Snowcat [4.5K]

(i) We start by calculating the mass of sugar in the solution:

mass of sugar = concentration × solution mass

mass of sugar = 2.5/100 × 500 = 12.5 g  

Then now we can calculate the amount of water:

solution mass = mass of sugar + mass of water

mass of water =  solution mass - mass of sugar

mass of water = 500 - 12.5 = 487.5 g

(ii) We use the following reasoning:

If       500 g solution contains 12.5 g sugar

Then    X g solution contains 75 g sugar

X=(500×75)/12.5 = 3000 g solution

Now to get the amount of solution in liters we use density (we assume that is equal to 1):

Density = mass / volume

Volume = mass / density

Volume = 3000 / 1 = 3000 liters of sugar solution

The products of a chemical reaction have different properties than the reactants.
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

Explanation:

The products of a chemical reaction have different properties than the reactant because they underwent a chemical change by definition of a chemical reaction. The products are new combinations atoms forming different molecules.
