Answer:
a) HNO3
b) 26.8g (3 s.f.)
c) 1.29g (3 s.f.)
Please see the attached pictures for full solution.
To balance an equation, ensure that the number of atoms for each element is the same on both sides.
And what should I do with this information
One mole of a substance is defined by Avogadro as consisting of 6.022 x 1023 atoms. This is Avogadro's number. To calculate the number of atoms in two moles of sodium, use dimensional analysis. 2.0 moles Na x 6.022⋅1023g1mol=1.20⋅1024 atoms of Na
The answer is C. 146g because you add all of the masses of the individual elements and then mulyiply by 1.72 to get your answer.
The formula for the self ionization of water is 2H₂O(l)⇄H₃O⁺(aq)+OH⁻(aq)
The hydronium (H₃O⁺) is usually just referred to as a hydrogen ion or a proton (H⁺) and hydroxide (OH⁻) doesn't have another name that I am aware of. These ions do stay in solution. However the concentrations are really small and the equilibrium constant (K(w)) is 1×10⁻¹⁴.
I hope this helps. Let me know if anything is unclear.
