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%

Fill in the coefficients that will balance the following reaction: a0Ca + a1CO2 + a2O2 → a3CaCO3
VashaNatasha [74]
The chemical equation without coefficients is:


Ca + CO2 + O2 --------> Ca CO3


You can balance that equation by trial an error.


This is the chemical equation balanced:


2Ca + 2CO2 + O2 --------> 2Ca CO3


Count the atoms on each side to check the balance


Atom    Left side         right side

Ca         2                     2 

C           2                     2

O          2*2 + 2 = 6       2*3 = 6


Then those are the coefficients:

a0 = 2

a1 = 2

a2 = 1

a3 = 2

N sub 2 +3H sub 2 rightwards arrow 2NH sub If 6 liters of hydrogen gas are used, how many liters of nitrogen gas will be needed
astraxan [27]

Answer:

2L of nitrogen gas will be needed

Explanation:

Based on the following reaction:

N₂ + 3H₂ → 2NH₃

<em>1 mole of nitrogen reacts with 3 moles of hydrogen to produce 2 moles of ammonia.</em>

<em />

If 6L of hydrogen (In a gas, the volume is directly proportional to the moles, Avogadro's law) react, the volume of nitrogen gas required will be:

6L H₂ * (1mol N₂ / 3 moles H₂) =

<h3>2L of nitrogen gas will be needed</h3>

Explain how earth plates and lithosphere are related
AnnyKZ [126]

Crust, the upper layer of the Earth, is not always the same. Crust under the oceans is only about 5 km thick while continental crust can be up to 65 km thick. Also, ocean crust is made of denser minerals than continental crust.

The tectonic plates are made up of Earth’s crust and the upper part of the mantle layer underneath. Together the crust and upper mantle are called the lithosphere and they extend about 80 km deep. The lithosphere is broken into giant plates that fit around the globe like puzzle pieces. These puzzle pieces move a little bit each year as they slide on top of a somewhat fluid part of the mantle called the asthenosphere. All this moving rock can cause earthquakes.

The asthenosphere is ductile and can be pushed and deformed like silly putty in response to the warmth of the Earth. These rocks actually flow, moving in response to the stresses placed upon them by the churning motions of the deep interior of the Earth. The flowing asthenosphere carries the lithosphere of the Earth, including the continents, on its back.
