The masses of the components are obtained as;
- Sodium hydrogen carbonate = 3.51 g
- Sodium carbonate = 8.708 g
<h3>What is decomposition?</h3>
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;

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

Letter d, because they are both alkali metals (group one)
Answer:
activation energy hope this is right
The answer is
<span>2PbS(s) + 3O2(g) = 2PbO(s) + 2SO2(g)
Your answer is not yet balanced because you have 3 oxygen atoms. it should be balanced by multiplying both side by 2 such as the balanced equation I made. To check it, I will explain why your answer is not yet balanced.
check: (from your equation)
</span> 1-Pb-1
1-S-1
2 -O-3
the difference between the reactant and the product of Oxygen will prove that it is not yet balanced.
If you use 2PbS(s) + 3O2(g) = 2PbO(s) + 2SO2(g), to check it:
2-Pb-2
2-S-2
6 -O-6
then this is now balance
you add the masses of the reactants, because of conservation of mass. if there are two or more products they will ask you to find the mass of only one product or the sum of the mass of all products
