Which of the following decomposition reactions is/are correct?
2 answers:
<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:
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.

Explanation:
Let us calculate the moles of vitamin C in the tablet:
The molar mass of Vitamin C is 176.14 g/mole
Thus we need same number of moles of NaOH to reach the equivalence point.
For NaOH solution:
Answer:
648.68 mg
Explanation:
The reaction that takes place is:
- FeCl₃ + 3NaOH → Fe(OH)₃ + 3NaCl
First we<u> calculate how many moles of each reactant were added</u>, using the <em>given volumes and concentrations</em>:
- FeCl₃ ⇒ 100 mL * 0.240 M = 24 mmol FeCl₃
- NaOH ⇒ 100 mL * 0.182 M = 18.2 mmol NaOH
24 mmol of FeCl₃ would react completely with (24 * 3) 72 mmol of NaOH. There are not as many NaOH mmoles, so NaOH is the limiting reactant.
Now we <u>calculate how many moles of Fe(OH)₃ are formed</u>, using the <em>moles of the limiting reactant</em>:
- 18.2 mmol NaOH *
= 6.07 mmol Fe(OH)₃
Finally we <u>convert 6.07 mmol Fe(OH)₃ to grams</u>, using its<em> molar mass</em>:
- 6.07 mmol Fe(OH)₃ * 106.867 mg/mmol = 648.68 mg
