Solid sodium hydrogen carbonate, NaHCO3, decomposes on heating according to the equation:

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

First, let's write the balanced equation again:

2 NaHCO3(s) <-> Na2CO3(s) + H2O(g) + CO2(g)

Now, we know that the total pressure was 7.76 atm. This total pressure, is the sum of the pressure of water and CO2 like this:

Ptotal = Pwat + PCO2 (1)

This is the dalton's law for partial pressures.

The pressure can be also be relationed with the moles

Ratio of mole = Ratio of pressure

so, taking this in consideration we can say the following:

Pwater/PCO2 = moles water / moles CO2

As the only components exerting pressure are CO2 and Water (Because they are in gas phase), the total pressure can be splitted between the two of them so:

Pwater = Ptotal/2

Pwater = 7.76 / 2 = 3.88 atm

With this pressure, and using the ideal gas equation, we can know the moles of water:

PV = nRT

n = PV/RT     using R = 0.082 L atm / K mol

n = 3.88 * 5 / 0.082 * (160+273)

n = 0.546 moles of water

b) now that we have the moles of water, we can actually know the moles that reacted originally from the sodium carbonate by stechiometry.

2NaHCO3(s) <-> Na2CO3(s) + H2O(g) + CO2(g)    MMCO2 = 84 g/mol

the moles of NaHCO3 initially:

n = 100 / 84

n = 1.19 moles

so, If 1.19 moles of NaHCO3 reacted, and only produces 0.546 moles of water and CO2, then, the remaining moles of NaHCO3 is:

remaining moles = 1.19 - 0.546 = 0.644 moles

therefore the mass remaining:

mCO2 = 0.644 * 84

mCO2 = 54.096 g

c) As it was stated before, only the gaseous components are involved in the pressure, thus, in the kp expression which is:

Kp = Pwater * PCO2

Kp = 3.88 * 3.88

Kp = 15.0544

d) As the total pressure is 7.76 atm and the fact that NaHCO3 is solid, this component is not exerting any pressure in the reaction, as seen in the Kp expression, so it won't matter that if we raise a little the quantity of the reactant, it still has some remaining.

Magnesium ribbon reacts vigorously with hydrochloric acid. The test tube gets hot and bubbles are produced. When a metal reacts
oee [108]
The answer is C, hydrogen gas. This is because in single replacement reactions, the single element (here Magnesium) replaces whichever element in the compound it corresponds to. Because Mg loses electrons since it’s a metal, it will replace the element which also loses electrons, which is Hydrogen here. So when they switch places, MgCl2 and H2 are made— and H2 is the hydrogen gas.

Select all of the items that are true about a sample of water vapor at 101°C as it cools.
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

D. Its temperature will remain 100 C until all the vapours condenses

Explanation:

Heat absorbed by a substance to change the state of matter is known as latent heat. This heat is utilized to break the bonds between atoms of the substance so that they can undergo phase change.

So, when water boils at 100 degree Celsius then temperature will remain constant unless and until all the water changes into vapor. As it is the latent heat that breaks the bonds between hydrogen and oxygen atoms of water so that liquid state can change into gaseous state.

Since latent heat is a hidden heat, that is why, it does not get reflected and there is no change in temperature due to it.

Thus, we can conclude that it is true that temperature will remain at 100°C until all the vapor condenses for a sample of water vapor at 101°C as it cools.
