How many moles in 1.3g sodium bicarbonate

1 answer:

5 0

First, write down the formula for sodium bicarbonate which is, NaHCO3.

Find the g-f-m if sodium bicarbonate which is 84 g/mol.

To find the moles of sodium carbonate, you would divide the grams by the gfm.

1.3g
——= .015 mol
84 g/mol

(*** I rounded to 2 sig figs as the final answer***)

The highest trophic level in a food chain is often shown as literally being the highest in the diagram. Although this food chain is set up differently, you can still tell that the hawk is the highest trophic level because all the arrows point in its direction.

Sound travels most quickly through solids because _____. solids have greater frequencies the molecules in solids are very close

uranmaximum [27]

Sound travels most quickly through solids because _____.

answer is: because solids r the most sense.

The distance between molecules in solids r very small.Because they are so close, they can collide very quickly, i.e. it takes less time for a molecule of the solid to 'bump' into its neighbor. Solids are packed together tighter than liquids and gases, hence sound travels fastest in solids.

What is the total number of atoms in 3.0 molecules of propanone, CH3COCH3? (Avogadro’s constant = 6 x 1023 mol-1)

BigorU [14]

Answer:

1.81 x 10²⁴atoms

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Number of molecules = 3 moles

Unknown:

Number of atoms = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we are going to use the mole concept.

1 mole of any substance contains 6.02 x 10²³ atoms

3 mole of propanone will contain 3 x 6.02 x 10²³ atoms = 1.81 x 10²⁴atoms

What are some complex impurities found in water that are hard to detect and remove? How are they removed and detected? Please an

This are my answers to your quesion

When working in laboratories and hospitals, it’s crucial that any contaminants found in water are removed immediately, before they cause any damage.

Each impurity carries its own risks to chemical and biological research, not to mention the detrimental effect they cause to the quality of pure water. Here we discuss the 8 main types of water contaminants, and how they can be prevented.

1. Microorganisms

Bacteria, algae and fungi all regularly interfere with sterile research applications. Bacteria can adversely influence cell and tissue culture by competing at enzyme-active sites on substrates.

If free-floating bacteria form biofilms on surfaces, they can be extremely difficult to remove. These biofilms can grow for several years, spontaneously releasing bursts of bacteria, along with their associated endotoxins and nucleases.

These nucleases then break down DNA and RNA in samples, and the endotoxins will have a negative effect on the growth and function of cells.

2. Viruses

Viruses – referred to as non-living nucleic acids – adversely affect tissue and cell growth. They’re extremely small, with most of them falling between 0.01 – 0.3 microns, and they can survive for long periods of time. Once they’ve been spotted in water, they should be removed as soon as possible.

3. Pyrogens

For mammalian cell cultures, and the preparation of solutions or devices that will later have contact with humans and other mammals, it’s crucial that the water used is pyrogen-free.

The most significant component of pyrogens – a form of endotoxin – is lipopolysaccharides (LPS), which is derived from Gram-negative bacteria walls. If LPS gets into the blood or spinal fluid, it can be toxic and cause a fever.

4. Dissolved Inorganic Ions

Silicates, chlorides, calcium, fluorides, magnesium, phosphates, bicarbonates, sulphates, nitrates and ferrous compounds are all forms of dissolved inorganic ions.

The instability in water caused by these ions will negatively influence chemical and biological reactions. Results include the formation of protein-protein and protein-lipid interaction, altering enzymatic activity, and delaying the growth of cells and tissue.

5. Dissolved Organic Compounds

These are derived from animal and plant decay, in addition to any human activities that involve the introduction of alcohol, protein, pesticides, chloramine, herbicides or detergents into the environment.

Dissolved organic compounds interfere with high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), gas chromatography and fluoroscopy.

6. Dissolved Gases

Water contains naturally dissolved carbon dioxide, nitrogen and oxygen, but these gases can alter the pH of lab water, which upsets the ionic balance. Concentrations of oxygen and nitrogen can affect the rate of biochemical reactions; and high concentration of dissolved gases can cause a bubble formation, which obstructs the flow through chromatography columns and micro-channels.

Dissolved carbon dioxide raises water acidity, reducing the capacity of ion exchange resins in DI systems.

7. Suspended Particles

When large suspended particles of clay, sand, silt or vegetation between 1 – 10µm are found in water, they cause turbidity and settle at the bottom.

Suspended particles can foul reverse osmosis membranes, filters and chromatography columns, especially if the system stems from a reservoir or tank within the building.

8. Colloidal Particles

Colloidal particles are much smaller than suspended particles, at just 0.01 – 1.0µm, and they don’t settle.

Colloidal particles regularly interfere with analytical techniques, and bypass ion exchange resins, which result in lower resistivity in DI water.

How to Prevent Contaminants

The main way to prevent and remove contaminants are through water purification systems. Different technologies have been created, each specialising in the removal of specific contaminants.

For example, whilst the process of distillation won’t remove ionised gases, inorganic ions or dissolved non-ionised gases, they will filter out bacteria and pyrogens.

Reverse osmosis (RO) is hailed as one of the most effective ways of removing contaminants, as this process removes up to 99% of impurities in water. Dissolved organics and ionics, suspended impurities, bacteria and pyrogens are all removed from water when RO is used.

To conclude, contaminants can be very damaging to water. Once found, they should be removed as soon as possible, using the most effective form of water purification technology.
