Sound waves need to travel through a medium such as a solid, liquid, or gas. The sound waves move through each of these mediums by vibrating the molecules in the matter. The molecules in solids are packed very tightly. Liquids are not packed as tightly as solids. And gases are very loosely packed. The spacing of the molecules enables sound to travel much faster through a solid than a gas. Sound travels about four times faster and farther in water than it does in air. This is why whales can communicate over huge distances in the oceans. Sound waves travel about thirteen times faster in wood than air. They also travel faster on hotter days as the molecules bump into each other more often than when it is cold.
You can solve this problem through dimensional analysis.
First, find the molar mass of NaHCO3.
Na = 22.99 g
H = 1.008 g
C = 12.01 g
O (3) = 16 (3) g
Now, add them all together, you end with with the molar mass of NaHCO3.
22.99 + 1.008 + 12.01 + 16(3) = 84.008 g NaHCO3. This number means that for every mole of NaHCO3, there is 84.008 g NaHCO3. In simpler terms, 1 mole NaHCO3 = 84.008 g NaHCO3.
After finding the molar mass of sodium bicarbonate, now you can use dimensional analysis to solve for the number of moles present in 200. g of sodium bicarbonate.

Cross out the repeating units which are g NaHCO3, and the remaining unit is mole NaHCO3
200. * 1 = 200
200/ 84.008 = 2.38
Notice how there are only 3 sig figs in the answer. This is because the given problem only gave three sig figs.
Your final answer is 2.38 mol NaHCO3.
If there is no net force on an object, then the object will <span>maintain it's rate of speed. Basically, net force is the change in an object's motion. If it is stationary and not moving, the object will stay stationary. If the object is moving at a rate of 2 miles per hour, it will constantly continue to move 2 mph because there is no net force.</span>
