Answer:

Na₂CO₃ · 10H₂O

Explanation:

The formula for sodium carbonate hydrate is:

Na₂CO₃ · xH₂O

The unknown "x" is the number of water molecules contained in the hydrate.

To find "x" we have to use the hydrogen percentage in the sample, 7.05 % H.

First we calculate the molecular weight of Na₂CO₃ · xH₂O:

molecular weight of Na₂CO₃ · xH₂O = 23 × 2 + 12 + 16 × 3 + 18x

molecular weight of Na₂CO₃ · xH₂O = 106 + 18x  g/mole

Now we devise the fallowing reasoning tanking in account 1 mole of Na₂CO₃ · xH₂O:

if in        106 + 18x grams of Na₂CO₃ · xH₂O we have 2x grams of hydrogen

then in  100 grams of Na₂CO₃ · xH₂O we have 7.05 grams of hydrogen

106 + 18x = (100 × 2x) / 7.05

106 + 18x = 28.4x

106 = 28.4x - 18x

106 = 10.4x

x = 106 / 10.4

x = 10.2 ≈ 10

The formula for the washing soda is Na₂CO₃ · 10H₂O.

Q+ is an ion of element Q. What has the highest value in the ion?
Firdavs [7]

The highest value of the ion is the nucleon number. The correct option is a.

<h3>What is nucleon number?</h3>

The mass number of an element is so named because it represents the total number of protons and neutrons in the element.

The total number of protons and neutrons in an atomic nucleus is known as the mass number, also known as the atomic mass number or nucleon number. It is roughly equivalent to the atomic mass expressed in atomic mass units.

In the given ion Q+, the nucleon number has the highest value in the ion

Thus, the correct option is a.

The movement of the liquid in a thermometer shows changes in temperature. An increase in temperature indicates the molecules in
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

2: Moved faster and spread farther apart.

Explanation:

Restate the question: The movement of the liquid in a thermometer shows changes in temperature. An increase in temperature indicates the molecules in the liquid.

1. moved slower and closer together.

2.moved faster and spread farther apart.

3. contracted in size when heated.

4. expanded in size when heated.

Water that is cold does not have the energy to bounce of the walls, instead it is like a group of animals they group together for the warmth of the others when it gets really cold.

So it cant be 1.

We all know that power lines sag lower on a hot day (or a tire for a car, it has increases pressure). but those are different types of molecules.

So that rules out 3 and 4.

Which leaves you with 2.

The increase in temperature causes the water molecule to gain energy and move quickly, which resulted in water molecule that are farther apart and an increase in water volume.

Hope it helps!
