They are not always identical because they have different isotope numbers which develops different neutrons numbers

When sodium carbonate is dissolved in water, the equation is $Na_2CO_3 (s) --- > 2Na^+ (aq) + CO_3^{2-} (aq)$ .

When carbon dioxide is placed in water, aqueous carbon dioxide is formed: $CO_2 (g) --- > CO_2(aq)$

<h3>Dissolution of compounds in water</h3>

Some compounds are water-soluble, some are just partially soluble, while others are insoluble in water. Some soluble or partially soluble substances dissociate in water into their component ions. These substances are said to be ionic.

Sodium carbonate, like every other sodium salt, is soluble in water. It dissolves in water to form an aqueous solution of sodium carbonate.

While in solution, sodium carbonate dissociates into its component ions according to the following equation:

$Na_2CO_3 (s) --- > 2Na^+ (aq) + CO_3^{2-} (aq)$

Carbon dioxide, on the other hand, does not dissociate in water. Instead, it dissolves in water where most of it remains as aqueous carbon dioxide in equilibrium with a small amount of hydronium ion and hydrogen carbonate ion.

Since the hydronium and hydrogen carbonate ions formed are so minute, the equation of the reaction can be written as: $CO_2 (g) --- > CO_2(aq)$

If a reaction taking place in a flask shows a drop in temperature, which type of reaction is it? Options: exothermic reactions e

liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

exothermic reaction

Explanation:

If there is a drop in temperature, then energy was lost to the surroundings because temperature is the average measure of kinetic energy. An exothermic reaction would result in this lost of energy. An endothermic reaction would absorb energy and make the temperature rise.

At a certain temperature the vapor pressure of pure methanol is measured to be . Suppose a solution is prepared by mixing of met

CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

Partial pressure is 0.13 atm

Explanation:

CHECK THE COMPLETE QUESTION BELOW :

At a certain temperature, the vapor pressure of pure methanol is measured to be 0.43atm. Suppose a solution is prepared by mixing 88.2 g of methanol and 116.g of water. Calculate the partial pressure of methanol vapor above this solution. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits. Note for advanced students: you may assume the solution is ideal.

Using Raoult´s law for ideal soultions we have

P(A) = X(A) *Pº(A)

where P(A) is the partial vapor pressure pressure of methanol,

X(A) is the mole fraction of solute (methanol) in solution,

Pº(A) is the vapor pressure of pure solute

Raoult's law states that the vapor pressure of a solution is dependent on the mole fraction of a solute added to the solution.

Raoult's law can be expressed below

Psolution = ΧsolventP0solvent.

Expressing it interns of the constituents given in the question we have

P(CH₃OH) = X(CH₃OH) x Pº(CH₃OH)

To calculate the mole fraction of CH₃OH, we make use of the formula below :

X(A) = mol (A) / ntotal

Ntotal = (sum of number of moles of A )+( moles solvent)

mol (CH₃3OH) can be calculated as :: 88.2 g/ 32 g/mol = 2.76 mol of CH₃OH

mol (H₂O) can be calculated as ::116 g/ 18 g/mol = 6.44 mol

total n = (6.44 + 2.76) mol = 9.20 mol

To calculate the partial pressure the we say;

P(CH₃OH) = (2.76 mol CH + 9.20 mol) x( 0.43 atm) = 0.13 atm

Hence, the partial pressure rounded to two significant figures is 0.13 atm
