Baking soda NaHCO3, is made from soda ash, a common name for sodium carbonate. The soda ash is obtained in two ways. It can be m

anufactured in a process in which carbon dioxide, ammonia, sodium chloride, and water are the starting materials. Alternatively, it is mined as a mineral called trona (top photo). Whether the soda ash is mined or manufactured, it is dissolved in water and carbon dioxide is bubbled through the solution. Sodium bicarbonate precipitates from the solution. As a chemical analyst you are presented with two samples of sodium bicarbonateâone from the manufacturing process and the other derived from trona. You are asked to determine which is purer and are told that the impurity is sodium carbonate. You decide to treat the samples with just sufficient hydrochloric acid to convert all the sodium carbonate and bicarbonate to sodium chloride, carbon dioxide, and water. You then precipitate silver chloride in the reaction of sodium chloride with silver nitrate. A 6.93 g sample of baking soda derived from trona gave 11.89 g of silver chloride. A6.78 g sample from manufactured sodium carbonate gave 11.77 g of silver chloride.

Answer:

Explanation:

From the given information:

mass of silver chloride AgCl = 11.89 g

molar mass of AgCl = 143.37 g/mol

We know that:

number of moles = mass/molar mass

∴

number of moles of AgCl = 11.89 g/ 143.37 g/mol

number of moles of AgCl = 0.0829 mol

The chemical equation for the mineral called trona is:

\mathsf{Na_2CO_3.NaHCO_3.2H_2O}

when being reacted with hydrochloric acid, we have:

\mathsf{Na_2CO_3.NaHCO_3.2H_2O + 3HCl \to 3NaCl + 2CO_2 +4H_2O}

One mole of NaCl formed from one mole of trona sample = 0.0829 moles of AgCl

i.e. 0.0829 moles of NaCl can be formed from AgCl

mass of trona sample = number of moles × molar mass

mass of trona sample = 0.0829 × 226

mass of trona sample = 18.735 g

The mass in the percentage of NaHCO₃ = mass of NaHCO₃/ mass of trona

The mass in the percentage of NaHCO₃ = 6.93/18.735

The mass in the percentage of NaHCO₃ = 0.36989

The mass in the percentage of NaHCO₃ = 36.99%

Nonetheless, a 6.78 g samples manufactured from sodium carbonate in pure 100%

∴

6.78 g sample manufactured from Na₂CO₃ is purer.

The atmospheric pressure on the surface of Venus is 6.84X10^4. Calculate the atmospheric pressure in atm and torr. Round each of
quester [9]

Answer:

0.675 atm

513 Torr

Explanation:

Given is that, the atmospheric pressure on the surface of Venus is

6.84 X 10⁴ Pa.

1 atm (atmospheric pressure) is equal to 101325 pascal (Pa).

To convert divide the pressure value by 101325.

Pressure in atm = \frac{6.84 \times 10^{4} }{101325}

= 0.675055 atm

Rounding it off to 3 significant digits: 0.675 atm

Now,  one Torr is 133.322 Pa. For conversion, divide the pressure value by 133.322.

Pressure in Torr = \frac{6.84 \times 10^{4} }{133.322}

=513.04219 Torr

Rounding it off to 3 significant digits: 513 Torr

Which of the following is true about the kinetic molecular theory?
velikii [3]

Answer: (B) Pressure is due to the collisions of the gas particles with the walls of the container.

Option B helps to explain the factor behind gas collision under high pressure.

Explanation: Kinetic molecular theory explains the behaviour and movement of gas particles when they are in motion. It states that gas particles are always in continuous motion and are perfectly elastic in nature.

Kinetic molecular theory can be explained using both Boyle's law and Charles's law.

•Few Assumptions of Kinetic Molecular Theory.

1. Gas particles are always in motion and they collide with the walls of their container.

2. The space occupied by a gas particles is negligible in comparison to the volume of the gas

What is the isotope notation for an ion of silver-109 with a charge of positive 1
Arisa [49]

Answer:

The isotope notation for an ion of silver-109 with a charge of positive 1 is _{47}^{109}Ag^{1+}.

Explanation:

The elements with same atomic number with different mass numbers are called isotopes.

The isotopes of silver is as follows.

_{47}^{109}Ag,_{47}^{107}Ag

From the above two isotopes have same atomic number and different mass number.

From the given,the isotope notation for an ion of silver-109 with a charge of positive 1

It can be represented is as follows.

_{47}^{109}Ag^{1+}

General representation of isotope is as in attachment.

I REALLY NEED HELP!! Is rubbing alcohol polar, non polar or ionic? Does it mix with water? Does it mix with vinegar?
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

You can mix both with rubbing alcohol, and rubbing alcohol is ionic.

Explanation:

To mix them together:

Combine 1 cup rubbing alcohol, 1 cup water, and 1 tablespoon of white vinegar into a spray bottle. The solution can kill germs and clean counters, according to Reader's Digest.

Rubbing alcohol is both polar and iconic.

Hope that this helps you and have a great day :)
