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

Answer: The correct statement is only reaction C is correct.

Explanation:

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.

What is the mass of 7 x 10^28 atoms of Fe?

Nostrana [21]

Answer:

6 x 10⁶ g Fe

Explanation:

Step 1: Set up dimensional analysis

7 x 10²⁸ atoms Fe (1 mol Fe/6.02 x 10²³ atoms Fe)(55.85 g Fe/1 mol Fe)

Step 2: Multiply, divide, and cancel out units

atoms Fe and atoms Fe cancel out.

mol Fe and mol Fe cancel out.

We should be left with g Fe.

7 x 10²⁸/6.02 x 10²³ = 116279 mol Fe

116279(55.85) = 6.49 x 10⁶ g Fe

Step 3: Sig figs

There is only 1 sig fig in this problem.

6.49 x 10⁶ g Fe ≈ 6 x 10⁶ g Fe

timama [110]

Answer:

1. It depends what type of method you are using. if it is Height x Width x Length then it will not work for an irregular shape because it has extra pieces that would not be included.

2. The second method would work for both regular and irregular shapes because you would have to know or find out the volume of the regular shape to get the volume for the irregular shape.

3. It also depends on what you are doing, if you are doing a regular shape then use the first method, if it's an irregular shape then use the second method, if you do the maths correctly both should give you an accurate answer for what you want to achieve.

4. No, because the sugar would dissolve.

5. No, on this case the displacement method would not work because of the weight difference
