Sodium acetate can be formed from the metathesis/double replacement reaction of sodium
telo118 [61]

Answer:

Explanation:

Sodium Acetate Trihydrate BP Specifications

Sodium Acetate BP

C2H3NaO2,3H2O

Action and use

Used in solutions for dialysis; excipient.

DEFINITION

Sodium ethanoate trihydrate.

Content

99.0 per cent to 101.0 per cent (dried substance).

CHARACTERS

Appearance

Colourless crystals.

Solubility

Very soluble in water, soluble in ethanol (96 per cent).

IDENTIFICATION

A. 1 ml of solution S (see Tests) gives reaction (b) of acetates.

B. 1 ml of solution S gives reaction (a) of sodium.

C. Loss on drying (As shown in the Relevant Test).

TESTS

Solution S

Dissolve 10.0 g in carbon dioxide-free water prepared from distilled water R and dilute to 100 ml 100 ml with the same solvent.

Appearance of solution

Solution S is clear and colourless.

pH

7.5 to 9.0.

Dilute 5 ml of solution S to 10 ml with carbon dioxide-free water.

Reducing substances

Dissolve 5.0 g in 50 ml of water, then add 5 ml of dilute sulphuric acid and 0.5 ml of 0.002 M potassium permanganate. The pink colour persists for at least 1 h. Prepare a blank in the same manner but without the substance to be examined.

Chlorides

Maximum 200 ppm.

Sulphates

Maximum 200 ppm.

Aluminium

Maximum 0.2 ppm, if intended for use in the manufacture of dialysis solutions.

Arsenic

Maximum 2 ppm, determined on 0.5 g.

Calcium and magnesium

Maximum 50 ppm, calculated as Ca.

Heavy metals

Maximum 10 ppm.

Iron

Maximum 10 ppm, determined on 10 ml of solution S.

Loss on drying

39.0 per cent to 40.5 per cent, determined on 1.000 g by drying in an oven at 130C.

Sodium Acetate FCC Food Grade, US Food Chemical Codex

C2H3NaO2 Formula wt, anhydrous 82.03

C2H3NaO2·3H2O Formula wt, trihydrate 136.08

DESCRIPTION

Sodium Acetate occurs as colorless, transparent crystals or as a granular, crystalline or white powder. The anhydrous form is hygroscopic; the trihydrate effloresces in warm, dry air. One gram of the anhydrous form dissolves in about 2 mL of water; 1 g of the trihydrate dissolves in about 0.8 mL of water and in about 19 mL of alcohol.

Function: Buffer.

REQUIREMENTS

Identification: A 1:20 aqueous solution gives positive tests for Sodium and for Acetate.

Assay: Not less than 99.0% and not more than 101.0% of C2H3NaO2 after drying.

Alkalinity Anhydrous: Not more than 0.2%; Trihydrate: Not more than 0.05%.

Lead: Not more than 2 mg/kg.

Loss on Drying: Anhydrous: Not more than 1.0%; Trihydrate: Between 36.0% and 41.0%.

Potassium Compounds: Passes test.

What os the formula for hexaboron tetrabromide
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

B6Br4

Explanation:

Chemical formula gives a representation of the number of atoms that each element in a compound or molecule. In this question which is asking to give the formula of hexaboron tetrabromide, the hexa means 6 while the tetra means four.

Since the number of atoms of each element is written as a prefix before the main element, this means that the chemical formula of hexaboron tetrabromide will be B6Br4.

Chlorine has two naturally occurring isotopes, 35C1 Gsotopic mass 34.9689 amu) and 370 (isotopic mass 36.9659 amu). If chlorine
Lilit [14]

<u>Answer:</u> The percentage abundance of _{17}^{35}\textrm{Cl} and _{17}^{37}\textrm{Cl} isotopes are 75.77% and 24.23% respectively.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Average atomic mass of an element is defined as the sum of masses of each isotope each multiplied by their natural fractional abundance.

Formula used to calculate average atomic mass follows:

\text{Average atomic mass }=\sum_{i=1}^n\text{(Atomic mass of an isotopes)}_i\times \text{(Fractional abundance})_i   .....(1)

Let the fractional abundance of _{17}^{35}\textrm{Cl} isotope be 'x'. So, fractional abundance of _{17}^{37}\textrm{Cl} isotope will be '1 - x'

  • <u>For _{17}^{35}\textrm{Cl} isotope:</u>

Mass of _{17}^{35}\textrm{Cl} isotope = 34.9689 amu

Fractional abundance of _{17}^{35}\textrm{Cl} isotope = x

  • <u>For _{17}^{37}\textrm{Cl} isotope:</u>

Mass of _{17}^{37}\textrm{Cl} isotope = 36.9659 amu

Fractional abundance of _{17}^{37}\textrm{Cl} isotope = 1 - x

  • Average atomic mass of chlorine = 35.4527 amu

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

35.4527=[(34.9689\times x)+(36.9659\times (1-x))]\\\\x=0.7577

Percentage abundance of _{17}^{35}\textrm{Cl} isotope = 0.7577\times 100=75.77\%

Percentage abundance of _{17}^{37}\textrm{Cl} isotope = (1-0.7577)=0.2423\times 100=24.23\%

Hence, the percentage abundance of _{17}^{35}\textrm{Cl} and _{17}^{37}\textrm{Cl} isotopes are 75.77% and 24.23% respectively.
