Answer:

Yes, Mass is conserved.

Explanation:

Every chemical reactions obey the law of conservation of mass. The law of conservation of mass states that in chemical reactions, mass is always constant.

     Equation:

                       2Na + Cl₂  →  2NaCl

From the equation above, one can observe that the reaction started using 2 atoms of Na and it produced 2 atoms of the same element in NaCl. A molecule of Cl produced 2 atoms of Cl in the NaCl

Design a simple experiment to support your answer:

Aim: To demonstrate the law of conservation of mass

   One Na atom weighs 23g

   Two Na atom will weigh 2 x 23 = 46g

1 atom of Cl is 35.5g

1 molecule of Cl containing two atoms of Cl will weigh 2 x 35.5 = 71g

Total mass of reactants = mass of 2Na + 1Cl₂ = (46 + 71)g = 117g

On the product side, Mass of 1 NaCl = 23+ 35.5 = 58.5g

Two moles of NaCl will give 2 x 58.5g = 117g

Since the mass on both side is the same, one can say mass is conserved.

Calcium dihydrogen phosphate, Ca(H₂PO₄)₂, and sodium hydrogen carbonate, NaHCO₃, are ingredients of baking powder that react to
NikAS [45]

0.012 mol of CO₂ can be produced from 3.50 g of baking powder.

<h3>What is baking powder?</h3>
  • Baking powder is a dry chemical leavener composed of carbonate or bicarbonate and a weak acid.
  • The addition of a buffer, such as cornstarch, prevents the base and acid from reacting prematurely.
  • Baking powder is used in baked goods to increase volume and lighten the texture.

To find how many moles of CO₂ are produced from 1.00 g of baking powder:

The balanced equation is:

  • Ca(H₂PO₄)₂(s) + 2NaHCO₃(s) → 2CO₂(g) + 2H₂O(g) + CaHPO₄(s) + Na₂HPO₄(s)

On 3.50 g of baking power:

  • mCa(H₂PO₄)₂ = 0.35 × 3.50 = 1.225 g
  • mNaHCO₃ = 0.31 × 3.50 = 1.085 g

The molar masses are: Ca = 40 g/mol; H = 1 g/mol; P = 31 g/mol; O = 16 g/mol; Na = 23 g/mol; C = 12 g/mol.

So,

  • Ca(H₂PO₄)₂: 40 + 4 × 1 + 31 + 8 × 16 = 203 g/mol
  • NaHCO₃: 23 + 1 + 12 + 3 × 16 = 84 g/mol

The number of moles is the mass divided by molar mass, so:

  • nCa(H₂PO₄)₂ = 1.225/203 = 0.006 mol
  • nNaHCO₃ = 1.085/84 = 0.0129 mol

First, let's find which reactant is limiting.

Testing for Ca(H₂PO₄)₂, the stoichiometry is:

  • 1 mol of Ca(H₂PO₄)₂ ---------- 2 mol of NaHCO₃
  • 0.006 of Ca(H₂PO₄)₂ -------- x

By a simple direct three rule:

  • x = 0.012 mol

So, NaHCO₃ is in excess.

The stoichiometry calculus must be done with the limiting reactant, then:

  • 1 mol of Ca(H₂PO₄)₂ ------------- 2 mol of CO₂
  • 0.006 of Ca(H₂PO₄)₂ -------- x

By a simple direct three rule:

  • x = 0.012 mol of CO₂

Therefore, 0.012 mol of CO₂ can be produced from 3.50 g of baking powder.

The correct question is given below:

Calcium dihydrogen phosphate, Ca(H2PO4)2, and sodium hydrogen carbonate, NaHCO3, are ingredients of baking powder that react with each other to produce CO2, which causes dough or batter to rise: Ca(H2PO4)2(s) + NaHCO3(s) → CO2(g) + H2O(g) + CaHPO4(s) + Na2HPO4(s)[unbalanced] If the baking powder contains 31.0% NaHCO3 and 35.0% Ca(H2PO4)2 by mass: (a) How many moles of CO2 are produced from 3.50 g of baking powder?

In humans, infections by fungi and protists are usually more difficult to treat than bacteria infections. Suggest an explanation
Basile [38]
<span>Fungal diseases are difficult to treat mainly because they are eukaryotic organisms just like us humans, and therefore have less differences for drugs to target without harming the human body as well. Most antibiotics target e.g. the peptidoglycan layer in the bacterial (a prokaryote) cell wall, which is a safe target since eukaryotic cells do not have equivalent structures. Similarly many differences in metabolic pathways between humans and prokaryotes is often targeted by antibiotics, but metabolism of fungi and humans is much more uniform, and hence it is difficult to exclusively target the fungi only.

PLEASE HELP WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST!!!
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

The light emitted by a light bulb is a form of radiation that occurs when the filament heats up and its thermal emission gains enough energy to move into the visible spectrum.

Explanation:

Light bulbs contain a filament which is heated up electrically. When this filament is heated up,energy in the form of heat is imparted to the electrons in the filament.

This thermal excitation of electrons ultimately leads to emission of light in the viable spectrum. This light is now radiated through a light bulb.
