The term decomposition has to do with the breakdown of the given substance into its components. The components of sodium hydrogen carbonate could be identified as water vapor, carbon dioxide gas and sodium carbonate. Among these products that have been listed here, we can see that it is only the sodium carbonate that remains as a solid. The others are gases that move away from the system that is under study.

Now putting down the equation of the reaction, we have;

$2NaHCO_{3} (s) ----- > Na_{2} CO_{3} (s) + CO_{2} (g) + H_{2} O(g)$

Now, the loss in mass must be due to the carbon dioxide and the water. Hence we obtain the loss in mass to be 10.000 g - 8.708 g = 1.292 g

Mass of sodium hydrogen carbonate = 2 * 88 g/mol * 1.292 g/62 g/mol

= 3.51 g

8. The following system contains 20.0 psi each of gases A and B in the end bulbs with an evacuated bulb in the centre. Both stop

Effectus [21]

Answer:

13.3

Explanation:

Before opening the stopcocks you have 40psi in total.

After that, those 40psi will be divided into 3bulbs, so 40/3=13.3psi for the system.

Significant Figures: How many significant figures<br> are in 865,010?

Harrizon [31]

Answer: There are five significant figures in 865,010.

Explanation:

When a degree of accuracy is stated by each digit present in a mathematical figure then it is called a significant figure.

Rules for counting significant figures is as follows.

Any non-zero digits and zeros present between a non-zero figure are counted. For example, 3580009 has seven significant figures.

Trailing zeros are counted in a non-zero figure. For example, 0.00250 has three significant figures.

Leading zeros are not counted. For example, 0.0025 has two significant figures.

So, in the given figure 865010 has five significant figures and the trailing zero will not be counted.

Thus, we can conclude that there are five significant figures in 865,010.
