You are given an unknown mixture containing NaCl and NaHCO3. When you carry out the heating exactly as described in part A, only

NaHCO3 decomposes. From the loss in mass, you can calculate the amount of NaHCO3 present in the mixture and its mass percent composition.
Here is your data. Incorporate it in your written procedure.

Experimental data Unknown (NaCl + NaHCO3)
Mass of crucible + cover 72.428 g
Mass of crucible + cover + mixture 74.80 g
Mass of crucible + cover + residue (1st heating) 74.25 g
Mass of crucible + cover + residue (2nd heating) 74.24 g
Mass of crucible + cover + residue (3rd heating) 74.24

From the data above, carry out your calculation for finding the mass of mixture, and mass of final solid remaining in the crucible. Using the knowledge that only loss of mass due to CO2 and H2O can be linked to the original mass of NaHCO3, calculate the mass of NaHCO3 and percent of NaHCO3 in the mixture.

Answer:

1.52g NaHCO3 were in the original mixture.

Mass percent: 64.1%

Explanation:

When NaHCO3 heats it descomposition occurs as follows:

2 NaHCO3(s) → Na2CO3(s) + CO2(g) + H2O(g).

The loss in mass is because of the evaporization of CO2 and H2O. As both are in the same porportion, its molar mass is the sum of both compounds (44g/mol + 18g/mol = 62g/mol)

Loss in mass: 74.80g - 74.24g = 0.56g.

In moles:

0.56g * (1mol / 62g) = 0.00903 moles of gas.

As 1 mole of the gases comes from 2 moles of NaHCO3:

<em>Moles NaHCO3:</em>

0.00903 moles of gas * (2 moles NaHCO3 / 1 mole gas) = 0.018 moles NaHCO3.

In grams (Molar mass NaHCO3: 84g/mol):

0.018 moles NaHCO3 * (84g / mol) = 1.52g NaHCO3 were in the original mixture.

The mass of the mixture was:

74.80g - 72.428g = 2.372g

That means mass percent of NaHCO3 is:

(1.52g /  2.372g) * 100 =  64.1%

How many milliliters of a 1.25 molar hydrochloric acid (HCl) solution would be needed to react completely with 60.0 grams of cal
stich3 [128]

<u>Answer:</u>

2400 mL

<u>Explanation:</u>

Ca + 2HCl \implies CaCl_2 + H_2

According to this equation, the stoichiometric ratio between Ca and HCl for the complete reaction is 1:2.

We know that the number of moles of Ca can be calculated using the mole formula. (<em>number of moles = mass / molar mass</em>)

Moles of Calcium = \frac{60}{40} = 1.5 mol

So the moles of HCl = 1.5 \times 2 = 3.0 mol

<em>Volume of HCl solution = Moles of HCl/ concentration of HCl</em>

Volume of HCl solution = \frac{3}{1.25} = 2400 mL

The temperature inside your freezer is 0 degrees Celsius. You place a balloon with an initial temperature of 30 degrees C and a
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

V=0.68L

Explanation:

For this question we can use

V1/T1 = V2/T2

where

V1 (initial volume )= 0.75 L

T1 (initial temperature in Kelvin)= 303.15

V2( final volume)= ?

T2 (final temperature in Kelvin)= 273.15

Now we must rearrange the equation to make V2 the subject

V2= (V1/T1) ×T2

V2=(0.75/303.15) ×273.15

V2=0.67577931717

V2= 0.68L

Would aluminum be as useful as food wrapping if it had a much lower melting point? Explain your answer.
Salsk061 [2.6K]

The correct answers are as follows:

1. Aluminium will not be useful as food wrapping if it has a much lower melting point.

Aluminum is a metallic element that is malleable and soft, thus, it is easy to beat it into thin sheet, which are used to package food. The thin sheet is called aluminium foil. Aluminum is useful as a food wrapping because it has high temperature and thus, it does not react with food (the hotness of the packaged food is not capable of melting the metal). If the melting point of aluminium is lower, this implies that little temperature, such as the one from hot food will be able to melt aluminum foil, thus allowing the food to be contaminated with the metal.

2. When bleach react with fabric dye chemical change occur in the fabric.

The major element in bleach is chlorine. When laundry bleach is added to a fabric, the chlorine component of the bleach will react with the fabric dye and cause a colour change in the fabric. This type of change is called chemical change, because the original colour of the fabric can not be recovered.

3. Every substance has specific properties, which can be used to identify it. Two of such specific properties are melting point and boiling point. Melting point refers to a specific temperature at which a solid substance will melt while boiling point refers to a specific temperature at which a liquid substance will boil and turn to steam.

Water for instance has a boiling point of 100 degree Celsius. To find out if an unknown substance is water, one can determine the boiling point of such liquid. A boiling point of 100 degree Celsius will strongly signify that the substance is probably water. The same thing applies to melting point. If the specific boiling and melting point of substances are known, then they can be used to identify them.
