It's the actual structure of diamond which made the two different. Diamonds have a tetrahedral structure, and as for graphite, it's not structured in that way. The structures of the two is also the reason why diamond is harder than graphite.
I'm not sure how many sign fig's you are required to have.
However I think the final answer would be 0.05 Moles, because of the .5g, that is considered 1 sign fig.
Layla it is A. that's the only one in standard form.
Answer:
Increase in CO2 (g) over time.
No NaHCO3 (s) will be left after a time
Explanation:
The reaction, shown below;
2NaHCO3(s) → Na2CO3(s)+CO2(g)+H2O(ℓ) is a decomposition reaction. A decomposition reaction is a kind of chemical reaction in which a given chemical specie breaks up to give other chemical species. Decomposition may be induced by heat or light.
Usually, there is only one reactant in a decomposition reaction; the specie that disintegrates into the products. This reactant usually decreases in concentration steadily because it is converted into products. This is why the mass of NaHCO3(s) in the system continues to decrease steadily until it finally falls to zero.
Conversely, the concentration (for aqueous) or volume (for gases) or mass (for solid) products of the reaction increases steadily as the reaction progresses. This explains why the volume of CO2 in the system will steadily increase over time.
