Answer: a

Explanation: because an Arrhenius acid is a compound that increases the H + ion concentration in aqueous solution. An Arrhenius base is a compound that increases the OH − ion concentration in aqueous solution.

vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

Na₂CO₃.2H₂O

Explanation:

For the hydrated compound, let us denote is by Na₂CO₃.xH₂O

The unknown is the value of x which is the amount of water of crystallisation.

Given values:

Starting mass of hydrate i.e Na₂CO₃.xH₂O = 4.31g

Mass after heating (Na₂CO₃) = 3.22g

Mass of the water of crystallisation = (4.31-3.22)g = 1.09g

To determine the integer x, we find the number of moles of the anhydrous Na₂CO₃ and that of the water of crystallisation:

Number of moles = $\frac{mass }{molar mass }$

Molar mass of Na₂CO₃ =[(23x2) + 12 + (16x3)] = 106gmol⁻¹

Molar mass of H₂O = [(1x2) + (16)] = 18gmol⁻¹

Number of moles of Na₂CO₃ = $\frac{3.22}{106}$ = 0.03mole

Number of moles of H₂O = $\frac{1.09}{18}$ = 0.06mole

From the obtained number of moles:

Na₂CO₃ H₂O

0.03 0.06

Do ionic compounds or covalent compounds conduct electricity

Liula [17]

None because Covalent compounds don’t conduct electricity because they are formed between the non metal atoms by sharing of electrons. The Covalent compounds haves no free electrons and also no ions and hence they do not conduct electricity. That is why they do not conduct electricity.

An element has an atomic number of 78. the number of protons and electrons in a neutral atom of the element would be _____.

Maurinko [17]

78 and 78. An atom of the element has 78 electrons and 78 protons.

The atomic number is 78, so the atom has 78 protons (+).

If the atom is neutral, it must contain 78 electrons (-).

Part B When carbon is burned in air, it reacts with oxygen to form carbon dioxide. When 22.8 g of carbon were burned in the pres

aksik [14]

<u>Answer:</u> The amount of carbon dioxide gas produced in the reaction is 83.6 grams

<u>Explanation:</u>

As, some amount of oxygen gas is left after the reaction is completed. So, it is present in excess and is considered as an excess reagent.

Thus, carbon is considered as a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of product.

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ .....(1)

Given mass of carbon = 22.8 g

Molar mass of carbon = 12 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of carbon}=\frac{22.8g}{12g/mol}=1.9mol$

The chemical equation for the reaction of carbon and oxygen gas follows:

$C+O_2\rightarrow CO_2$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of carbon produces 1 mole of carbon dioxide gas

So, 1.9 moles of carbon will produce = $\frac{1}{1}\times 1.9=1.9moles$ of carbon dioxide gas

Now, calculating the mass of carbon dioxide from equation 1, we get:

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mol

Moles of carbon dioxide = 1.9 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$1.9mol=\frac{\text{Mass of carbon dioxide}}{44g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of carbon dioxide}=(1.9mol\times 44g/mol)=83.6g$

Hence, the amount of carbon dioxide gas produced in the reaction is 83.6 grams
