Answer: $CO_2$ and $H_2O$

Explanation:

Decomposition reaction is a type of chemical reaction in which one reactant gives two or more than two products.

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.

$H_2CO_3\rightarrow H_2O+CO_2$

I believe that carbonic acid breaks down into carbon dioxide and water when under decomposition.

The answer should be CO2 and H2O

Penicillin N is an antibacterial agent that contains 8.92% sulphur by mass.Which could be the molar mass of Penicillin N? a)256g

scoundrel [369]

Answer : Option B) 360 g/mol

Explanation : The antibacterial agent Penicillin N contains 8.92% of sulfur by mass. So we have to calculate the molar mass of penicillin N will be as

i) 256 X 0.0892 = 22.83 g/mol this cannot be the answer as it doesn't shows any sign of sulfur being present even in 1 mole.

ii) 360 X 0.0892 = 32.112 g/mol This is the closest to the molar mass of sulfur which is 32.06 g/mol; this means it contains 1 mole of sulfur.

iii) 390 X 0.0892 = 34.78 g/mol this also fails to prove the answer as correct.

iv) 743 X 0.0892 = 66.27 g/mol This is not even falling in the range of sulfur mole.

Hence we can confirm that the answer is Option B
