Two samples of sodium chloride with different masses were decomposed into their constituent elements. One sample produced 1.731.

73 g of sodium and 2.662.66 g of chlorine. Being consistent with the law of constant composition, also called the law of definite proportions or law of definite composition, which set of masses could be the result of the decomposition of the other sample?
a. 6.09 g of sodium and 4.87 g of chlorine.
b. 6.09 g of sodium and 1.33 g of chlorine.
c. 6.09 g of sodium and 9.38 g of chlorine.
d. 6.09 g of sodium and 12.8 g of chlorine.

Answer:

The answer to your question is letter c) 6.09 g of sodium and 9.38 g of chlorine.

Explanation:

This problem is solve using rule of three

We know that the proportion Sodium to Chloride is 1 to 1 in sodium chloride, so we have to look for this proportion in the options

AM Sodium = 23 g

AM Chlorine = 35.5 g

                 Sodium                                     Chlorine

           23 g ---------------- 1 mol              35.5 g -------------- 1 mol

       1713.73g -------------    x               2666.6 g -------------    x

          x = 1713.73/23 = 74.51                     x = 2666.6/35.5 = 75.12

    These values are very similar, we have to look for the proportion in the options

a)      6.09g of sodium = 0.26 mol

      4,87 g of chlorine = 0.14 mol           These numbers are not very similar

b) We have 0.26 mol of Na

                  0.037 mol of Cl                      This is not the answer

c) We have 0.26 mol of Na

                  0.26 mol of Cl                     These numbers are the same, the proportion is 1:1, this is the answer

d) We have 0.26 mol of Na

                   0.36 mol of Cl                    This is not the answer

Many homeowners treat their lawns with CaCO3(s) to reduce the acidity of the soil. Write a net ionic equation for the reaction o
Agata [3.3K]

The reaction of acid, assuming HCl and calcium carbonate always produces a gas. The reaction is as follows:
2 HCl + CaCO3 --> CaCl2 + H2CO3 
H2CO3, carbonic acid, is a weak acid that is unstable in water solutions at high concentrations. As such, it decomposes: 
H2CO3 --> H2O + CO2 
Then, 
2 HCl + CaCO3 --> CaCl2 + H2O + CO2 
The total ionic equation looks as follows: 
2H+(aq) + 2 Cl-(aq) + CaCO3(s) --> Ca+2(aq) + 2 Cl-(aq) + H2O(l) + CO2(g) 
Clearly, Cl- is a spectator ion as it is unchanged in the reaction. The net ionic reaction looks as follows: 
2 H+(aq) + CaCO3(s) --> Ca+2(aq) + H2O(l) + CO2(g)

When water is electrolyzed, it splits into hydrogen and oxygen.
Westkost [7]

The mass of water is equal to the combined mass of hydrogen and oxygen.

<h3>What is Mass?</h3>

This is defined as the quantity of matter in a physical body. The electrolysis reaction of water can be seen below:

2 H₂O ---> 2 H₂ + O₂

We can deduce that 36 grams of H₂O dissociated to give 4 grams of H₂ and 32 grams of O₂ which option D was chosen as the appropriate choice.
