<span>A) 2NaOH -> 2Na + O2 + H2
is not correct since Na is unstable

B) 2NaOH -> 2Na + H2O + 1/2O2
is not correct since Na is unstable

C) 2NaOH -> Na2O + H2O
is correct since N2O is stable

D) 2NaOH -> 2Na + H2O2
is not correct since Na is unstable</span>

<u>Answer:</u> The correct statement is only reaction C is correct.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Decomposition reaction is defined as the reaction in which one large compound breaks down into smaller compounds.

NaOH is a base known as sodium hydroxide. The decomposition reaction for sodium hydroxide follow the equation:

2NaOH\rightarrow Na_2O+H_2O

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of sodium hydroxide decomposes into 1 mole of sodium oxide and 1 mole of water.

Hence, the correct statement is only reaction C is correct.

Balance this equation: Al+ HNO3 ---- H2 + Al(NO3)3​
romanna [79]

Answer:

2Al+ 6HNO3 ---- 3H2 + 2Al(NO3)3​

Explanation:

Put coefficient a,b,c, and d for calculation:

a Al + b HNO3 = c H2 + d Al(NO3)3

for Al: a = d

for H: b = 2c

for N: b = 3d

for O: 3b = 9d

Suppose a=1, then d=1, b=3, c=3/2

multiply 2 to make all natural number, a=2, then b=6, c=3, d=2

Calculate ΔH∘f for NO(g) at 435 K, assuming that the heat capacities of reactants and products are constant over the temperature
weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

91383 J

Explanation:

The equation of the reaction can be represented as:

\frac{1}{2} N_{2(g)}+\frac{1}{2} O_{2(g)}     ------>NO_{(g)}

Given that:

The standard enthalpy of formation of NO(g) is 91.3 kJ⋅mol−1 at 298.15 K.

The equation below shown the reaction between the enthalpy of reaction at a particular temperature to another.

\delta H^0__{R,T_2} = \delta H^0__{R,T_1} } + \int\limits^{T_2}_{T_1} {\delta C_p(T')} \, dT'

where:

\delta H^0__{R} = enthalpy of reaction

{\delta C_p(T')} = the difference in the heat capacities of the products and the reactants.

∴

\delta H^0__{R,435K} = \delta H^0__{R,298.15K} + \int\limits^{435}_{298.15} {\delta C_p(T')} \, dT'

= 1(91300 J.mol^{-1} ) +\int\limits^{435}_{298.15} [{(29.86)-\frac{1}{2}(29.38)-\frac{1}{2}29.13}]J.K^{-1}.mol^{-1} \, dT'

= 91300 J + (0.605 J.K⁻¹)(435-298.15)K

= 91382.79 J

\delta H^0__{R,435K} ≅ 91383 J

There is a 50 g sample of ra-229. It has a half-life of 4 minutes.how much will be left after 12 minutes? a. 3.13 g b. 6.25 g c.
polet [3.4K]

It's B. 6.25

first divide 50/2

then divide 25/2

after that divide 12.5/2

Then you get 6.25

Hope it helps!

Chemical equation below demonstrate that?<br> NEED HELP ASAP
zmey [24]

(a) Matter cannot be created and destroyed by a chemical reaction.

Explanation:

(a) Matter cannot be created and destroyed by a chemical reaction. (correct)

The number and type of atoms entering the chemical reaction are the same with the number and type of atoms leaving the chemical reaction.

(b) The reactants are the same substance as the products. (wrong)

You may see in the reaction that we have as reactants zinc and hydrochloric acid which react to form the products, zinc chloride and hydrogen.

(c) The number of molecules in the reactants are equal to the number of molecules in the products. (wrong)

As reactants we have 2 hydrochloric acid (HCl) molecules and as products 1  hydrogen (H₂) molecule. Zn is a metal and ZnCl is a salt.

(d) The atoms on the reactants side are changed into different atoms on the products side. (wrong)

The number and type of atoms entering the chemical reaction are the same with the number and type of atoms leaving the chemical reaction.
